There's a clear difference between open source and free open source software. It is open source but the licence is not "free". Not entirely at least
@isthereanydeal Nope. That distinction only appeared when big companies kinda became afraid of open source software, so they wanted to redefine the term, create some confusion, corrupt it..
You may have a point but there's a difference anyway
Did you unselect your upvote?
@heyoni I'm commenting from mastodon, I don't even see any upvotes. Someone just started downvoting me because they ran out of arguments 🤷♂️
That must be why. On lemmy, like reddit you automatically upvote your own comments. Yours was at 0 probably cause mastodon doesn't do that.
