Jellyfin is a fork of the Emby code back when they were OSS. They stopped being OSS, and Jellyfin forked.

- lnxg33k1 5y agoMh are you sure about that? I use emby because I like open source but I despise free stuff (at least when one can afford to pay), and I've seen that their server is definitely release under GPL license? But is paid? https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/blob/master/LICENSE.md https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/blob/master/LICENSE.md Afaik I am not sure anymore who forked who but I've seen convos on IRC back then and the issue was solely the fact that emby devs wanted to be paid

- lnxg33k1 5y agoAaaa you’re right I just noticed that the last tag is <3.6
- tomnipotent 5y agoMaking a project open source doesn't mean you can't close-source it later on and cease distributing updates, like what Emby has done. Jellyfin forked from the last open-source version of Emby that was available under a liberal license.
- lnxg33k1 5y agoYeye I just didn’t notice the last tag on GitHub
- Melatonic 5y agoIt is unfortunate they did not just do the paid route and keep it Open Source.
- lnxg33k1 5y agoYeah it is a shame agree
