Interesting to hear. Not sure how this half-open/half-closed source will work. Something like Red Hat? Then what about a CentOS equivalent for Atom?

- codezero 13y agoThis is a lot more like Android, where the code itself is open but the core services which make it useful are hosted and not open.
- adrianmalacoda 13y agoNah, Android is the other way around. The core Android platform (the AOSP) is free software, but the Google services are proprietary. This looks like they're going to allow people to view the source code, but not actually use it. My impression is that it would be similar to Assembla's not-really-open-source license [1] [1] https://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/breakoutdocs/Singleton_Development_License https://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/breakoutdocs/Singleton_De...
- richardfontana 13y agoSounds like providing source code under a proprietary license. That's not Red Hat's model.
