The rules say "Apps must be made available under an OSI Approved open source license".

But the source is not online, and I was told by CWR (the company that wrote it) that it's closed-source. Anyone want to help me shine a light on this?
- BraveNewCurency 13y agoQuick update: the company admits they didn't follow the rules and says they will share the code (but they are not sure how long that will take.)
- pestaa 13y agoMore importantly, shouldn't the contest organizers comment on this?
