Pretty much nothing about the website and repo indicated that this is an open source project. Why would anyone just assume that it is? Hell, one of the quick links at the top of the home page is "Support & Licensing". Open source licensing is still licensing. I feel like people increasingly treat it as "yay freebies for me" and not as actual licenses that you still have to look for, read, and comply with.

> Pretty much nothing about the website and repo indicated that this is an open source project. Why would anyone just assume that it is? There is a prominent GitHub link to the codebase. I think the GitHub terms of service demand that public repo owners grant public downloaders minimal rights to view and use (but not necessarily redistribute) the code. But the LICENSE file disallows use of the code to some. If the GitHub ToS does what I recall, it seems possible that the copyright license and the repo's presence on GitHub are actually in conflict with each other. (I'm not at all expert here, though.)
