        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”.
