No, it’s the definition the Open Source Initiative has used since their inception.
Which… split off from the FSF and the software freedom movement. And that term was never used before they created it. They literally defined it and started it’s use.
They are just one of many open source communities with their own licenses.
Again, established definition. Stop trying to legitimise your self-concocted definition of “open source”.
you can’t expect to enforce the definition you like on everyone
It is literally the definition which has been used since the term’s conception when the open source movement split off from the software freedom movement. It is a well established term with a well established meaning. Just because you don’t want to use that meaning doesn’t mean it isn’t the correct and most widely recognised. Its not that I like the definition, it’s that it is the primary definition and always has been.
If someone posts their source code publicly, it’s open source.
Uh, no. That’s called “source-available”. Terms have meanings. And from the day the words “open source” started being used, this definition is what defined them: https://opensource.org/osd
You can’t just redefine an established term because it’s inconvenient to your argument.
It’s unreasonable to ask them to review and maintain every PR
Good thing being free/open source doesn’t require that, then? It basically just requires the users be free to make their own modifications and distribute them. No requirement for public development involvement at all, really. It’s standard practice but by no means necessary.
If you want to fork it and make changes for yourself, you can
They can terminate your license for any reason or no reason (stated in the license) making your fork in violation of copyright law :).
In other words, they can take down your fork if they feel like it. Making the ability to fork useless.
literally the only qualification for something to be open source …
Again, terms have established meanings. See above.
It’s also unreasonable to be upset if they tell you you’re not allowed to take their work and re-sell it for your own profit.
I don’t see how this paragraph relates to my point at all. Is it about the NewPipe paid clones? Because they were illegal anyways (copyleft violation), no egregious license needed.
But as you said, NewPipe is also copyleft, and it seems like you don’t have a problem with that. So I don’t really understand what your issue is with Grayjay/FUTO.
What do you mean “also copyleft”? Are you implying the GrayJay license is copyleft? Because it absolutely isn’t. Again, established term, definition: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/copyleft.en.html
And finally, here’s some particularly nasty parts of the license, which funilly enough you don’t ever see in free/open source licenses (because they’re horribly restrictive terms):
“If you issue proceedings in any jurisdiction against the provider because you consider the provider has infringed copyright or any patent right in respect of the code (including any joinder or counterclaim), your license to the code is automatically terminated.”
“We may suspend, terminate or vary the terms of this license and any access to the code at any time, without notice, for any reason or no reason, in respect of any licensee, group of licensees or all licensees including as may be applicable any sub-licensees.”
Advertised as “open source”, violates several key parts of the open source definition. It’s really a “look but don’t touch” thing.
And you do realise ANY copyleft license (GPL, etc) prevents the creation of nonfree applications using that code? Making the app proprietary (yes, GrayJay counts as proprietary) is completely unnecessary.
I know Rossmann brought up NewPipe fakes on the Play Store as justification, but NewPipe is licensed under the GPL. These fakes were already illegal.
NewPipe on Android.
Fuck GrayJay, their marketing lies, and their nasty license.

Its a fucking typo for comedic effect🤦♂️
You’re looking far too deep into a joke about GNOME developers removing features.
This is the best way I’ve heard it said.
Busybox is very much widely used though?
And how is it false that the GPL makes software remain free? Read the free software definition, it’s about the freedom of users, not the freedom of people who aren’t users (that doesn’t really make sense). Free software isn’t “source code available to general public even if they aren’t users”.
Yeah, sure, we like to promote it because it’s… harder??
It’s much worse.
The snap store is proprietary.
Yes.
In fact, it’s a good argument as to why “GNU/Linux” isn’t wrong, even if it is cumbersome.
Android + Linux = Android, but GNU + Linux = Linux
??
Packages delayed by a week or so is not “stable”, in either sense of the word
In fact, that can break things. Especially with AUR use
You edited your comment, so don’t get snarky about me not accounting for an edit you made after I replied.
Anyways,
I mentioned wildcats because they are similar to domestic cats and the existence of them here disprove the “it’s not their natural habitat” talking point.
The Scottish Wildcat is so overwhelmingly similar to the domestic cat that they can interbreed.
And this fact might entertain you: both types of wildcat mentioned are considered Felis Silvestris. They’re really not that different.
I don’t care about some American publication talking about cats as that is obviously going to be specific to America, and it’s claims of invasiveness do not apply to many other places, or are such a small concern it’s not considered.
Here’s a UK source, a bit more applicable to where I live:
That’s the checks notes Royal Society for the Protection of Birds noting that cats are not causing issues for bird populations. Give it a read.
Aw, are you sad now? You can’t think of anything else so you complain about the topic being changed ever so slightly to letting cats outside (still very much related)?
Anyways, you are just as responsible as me for switching topic.
And that’s how a conversation typically works. If you strictly never even slightly deviate the conversation will fall flat on it’s face in two minutes.
Also, I addressed the bird thing elsewhere. You should see it, since it’s a direct reply to you, the high-horse shining example of global animal population ethics American.
Hey, since you don’t believe me about cats not causing massive ecological harm to local bird populations:
It’s also funny you attribute cat’s longevity to the death of predators, and not the fact that there are native cats here and so cats very much, well, adapted to local predators.
You told me, that the domestic cat must be eating the Scottish Wildcat’s lunch.
We were specifically talking about that species at that point. Don’t try to spin it.
I didn’t say it’s fine. I said it’s the only problem when you made the grand claim that domestic cats were basically stealing their food source.
Because you made it sound like they’re dying, when they’re really just hybridising. Both are forms of extinction in a sense, but one is a lot worse than the other.
And again, they don’t even live in the same damn parts of the country.
Americans like you need put in your place and reminded that the whole world does not revolve about you and your country’s circumstances.
Good. Kernel mode anticheat is fucking malware. Anticheat for a game should never have the same power over the system as a driver, which needs those privileges to communicate with hardware.
