            It is open source. And it is free as in beer. It’s not free as in speech though. But I understand his reasons and they are justifiable IMO given the android ecosystem.

              From my limited understanding, open source means a very specific thing. So this is just “source available”.

                Yeah “Open source” can be many things and the definition is often misused. I would say it’s FOSS without being FLOSS. As you say “source available”.

          I’m not asking about the video, it looks legit. I’m wondering about the comment with a link that I replied to.

          That would help if I had any idea what I’m doing with code.

          I just know I see a comment with a link to something different from what’s in the video posted above, and I’m not sure about clicking that link in the comment.
