That's definitely an option, but I originally chose the MIT due to the simplicity & low friction/requirement for users, and for me it'd be a shame to change that, especially as it could impact users that have been using m

Back in August I queried [1] your usage of "open source" while not being an open source project (ELv2 licensed). It looks like you're no longer describing yourself as "100% Open Source" which is good but you still l

I've just ordered an adapter with the aim to do the same. Hue products have been great due to their quality (often at an extra expense I've deemed worthwhile) and their local-only functionality, but this change indicates it's

I wrote something like this [1] for the team at my old workplace. We mainly worked on static html files but some functionality required loading via http. Many of the devs were quite new to development in general, so I built a simple static

I've been looking forward to watching this film, but it's frustratingly not been available in the UK. Looks like it might be reaching cinemas in October though. I don't usually look into new movies, so don't know how thi

You may want to apply a license to the project, otherwise it often wouldn't be considered open source since you're not providing any rights to use/modify/distribute the code.

On a related note, support for "logical properties/values"[1] has become mature in recent years. These are alternatives to directional-based properties (top/left/bottom/right) which are adaptable to switching c

Their website describes this as open source but their linked repo is under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 [1] so not commonly regarded as open source, but instead source available. They have been made aware of this [2]. Additionally, I think it may only b

Love finding a good use-case of parallel as an easy way to gain massive time savings, especially on the modern high-threaded CPUs of today. Most recently found it useful when batch-compressing large jpeg images to smaller webp files, via us

Thanks dang, "source available" is pretty common for licenses like the ELv2 used here.

Another YC launch advertising as open source while using a non-osd-adhering license (ELv2 in this case). I respect your right to choose a license that protects your efforts, but calling this open source will be misleading to many.

Again this feels like it's missing the point and issue that people have. Stop trying to drag down the "open source" term to a place that suits your business needs. Just because it's not sustainable for you and your busin

When it says "available in open source", is that under the main airbyte repo's licensing [1], hence primarily licensed under the Elastic License v2 and therefore not typically considered open source by many? Airbyte has previ
