    GrayJay looks really cool except for that it is not open source. It is unfortunate that Louis is saying it is. In case anyone reading this has a way to reach him, please send him these two links:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software#Definitions

    https://opensource.org/authority/

    I watched his video and I totally understand his motivations. imo he should strongly enforce the trademark to prevent any builds he doesn’t approve of from being called GrayJay, but he should use an actual open source license which allows redistribution (albeit only under a different name, if he doesn’t approve).

    If he remains determined to use a non-open-source license, he should acknowledge that that is what it is and stop claiming that it is open source.

      Louis is still working on getting the video up on FUTOs channel but simply neither Louis nor Eron Wolf (Founder of Yahoo Games and former investor in WhatsApp) agree with the current definition of Open Source.

      Also it is a priority for them to be the only one making money off of FUTO stuff if I remember right.

          I was just trying mention their stance on this, not mine. I understand your point and imagine it’ll be answered in the video.
