Grayjay is not Open Source
Grayjay is not Open Source
Today FUTO released an application called Grayjay for Android-based mobile phones. Louis Rossmann introduced the application in a video (YouTube link). Grayjay as an application is very promising, but there is one point I take issue with: Grayjay is not an Open Source application. In the video Louis explains his reason behind the custom license, and while I do agree with his reason, I strong disagree with his method. In this post I will explain what Open Source means, how Grayjay does not meet the criteria, why this is an issue, and how it can be solved.

The Grayjay app from FUTO has launched for Android, but it's not Open Source. While understanding the custom license's rationale, it's important to uphold Open Source principles that promote transparency and collaboration. There might be room for exploring licensing models that balance project interests and community engagement.
