'Open source' is created to subvert libre software. The ban alone is a 🚩 red flag.
Waht is "libre software"? this is a totally new term to me and searching for it has turned up nothing.
Literally the first search result is here but even better is this video here.
You understand that search results are different for different people, right? I've been a dev for... an embarrassingly long time, I've never heard "libreware" outside of specifically the libreoffice suite. Sorry I'm not as in-tune with the slang as you are or whatever.
Maybe yours does.
YES, IT DOES, THATS MY ENTIRE POINT.
Lmao, okay thats patheticly bad baiting. Come on.
This essay may help clearing things up
What ban?
They're using loaded language to say that without access to the source code and the ability to modify it, Cara could start behaving in a way you don't like and you wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
Meta uses loaded language to takeover our computing.
Source, or did they include an AGPL, libre software license?
What does copyright law have to do with a ban on removing malicious code?
What do you think bans it? Copyright law, unless they include, for example, a libre software license.
You realize that copyright law still applies... whether you add some additional license to your software or not... right?
You know its license changes what we are allowed to do with it?
