A client/server application where the server is proprietary isn't really a free software application as far as I'm concerned, even if the server is easy to clone. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I expect better from 'open-source' in my personal computing life, and competitors seem happy to deliver it. If that makes me fussy, oh well.
