    Hey, he’s not a developer. He doesn’t know the nuances between ACTUAL FOSS and “source available”, nor the VAST GULF of differences.

    His heart is in the right place. … but still, definitely go for real FOSS (not just OSS).

      Louis Rossmann isn’t a developer, but the company he works with (FUTO) was founded by an experienced software developer, and employs multiple devs for their projects like Grayjay, Futo VoiceInput, their android keyboard and other stuff. Not using a FOSS license is an intentional choice, which is why I’m not giving them my money. They should really stop their “source-available paid software license” bullshit, just make it truly FOSS and I’ll happily donate.

      And btw I’m pretty sure that Louis realizes the differences between source-available and FOSS, he’s a smart man.
