The difference is the freedom to modify, fix, and even fork for yourself if the need arises.

- pydry 3y agoThat is not the difference. You can do all of that with sentry.
- ezekg 3y agoYou obviously know nothing of the licenses you're discussing. It's so frustrating to see this fallacy repeated over and over. SSPL, ELv2, BUSL, and FSL are all forkable. Most even more so than GPL!
- vitiral 3y agoI was referring to no license. I was referring to this statement > There is zero practical difference between "free and source available" and "open source" for 99.99% of users. "Free and source available" is not a license. Without a license it is copyrighted.
- pydry 3y ago"Open source" is not a license either. "Free and source available" describes a group of licenses including sentry's.
- vitiral 3y agoOkay, but "open source" implies you can change and fork the code. "Free and source available" does not, even if you can in some cases. That's literally all I said.
- pydry 3y agoIt sounds like you are agreeing with me that if you can do that then it's not misleading to call those licenses open source.
