Isn't meshcore proprietary and not open source?
So, it's kinda mixed. The firmware is open source, while the mobile apps are freemium based.
MeshCore is working on an open source one right now. And there is more and more nodes popping up.
Personally I hope both protocols can play nice and we can have a good big mesh instead of two competing communities. Kinda like the fediverse :)
Withholding source/charging for apps isn't exactly playing nice imo
The Android and iOS apps were not open source, but there is a new app called meshcore-open that is open source.
its both closed source for LoRa chips itself are not open source...yes a there is a attempt out there to reverse engeneer LoRa and make it work via SDR and GNU-radio, but rn its not compatible with most chips out there.
no, it’s fully free and open sourced
Depends what part of it you are considering. The mobile apps are "free" but not OSS.
There is a new 3rd party mobile app that's fully FOSS.
I don't know honestly
