1. Asperite is not open source. 2. It’s okay for two projects to do the same thing, even if you personally prefer one over the other.

- lachieh 8mo agoAseprite is open source. The source is open for anyone to access right here: https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite You might be confusing license with access. The product itself has a proprietary license. Even then, a majority of the libraries they produce are also available under the MIT license.

- pocketarc 8mo ago"open source" has a specific definition[0], which this project does not meet. When people say "open source", that is the definition that they are referencing. It's the reason why there's been endless discussion about "open weights" models not being "open source". "source available"[1] is a different thing, and you're right that this project is "source available".

- lachieh 8mo agoYou are right. I've been corrected. I misunderstood their licence to be on the distributable, not the source. I'll take my misunderstanding home now.
- juliangmp 8mo agoHow can you say its open source and 3 sentences later that it has a proprietary license. Their EULA forbids distributing the software, hence not open source.
- paxys 8mo agoYou are describing source available. That is not the same as open source.
- lachieh 8mo agoThanks, I see my mistake! Can't correct my post but I'll take this into future thinking.
- veggieroll 8mo agoSource available is not open source. Don’t try to redefine what open source means. It’s so insulting to volunteers hard work.
- lachieh 8mo agoApologies to every OSS contributor for my misunderstanding then.
