minus-square@makingStuffForFun@lemmy.mllinkfedilink0•1 day agoCorrect. The non open source licenses, such as 'fair code ’ are not open source. They are available, but not open. It dilutes the true meaning, and I find it a little nefarious when a company calls their code open, when it’s in reality available.
