That really is not a satisfying answer. It is incredibly nebulous and even if it did have a nice definition I guarantee most software developers will tell you a lot of software rarely reaches that state.

I can see why they might want to avoid 1000 GitHub issues bike shedding things but they could open source the code and just not have open contribution

Sometimes you’re ashamed of the ugly hacks you cobbled together to reach MVP, and you want to fix the stuff you know you need to fix first before being thrown to the wolves. I can respect that, for a limited time.

or they can also disable submitting issues for now

That means very little to me. Actions speak louder than words, and it would probably help the development of loops if it was actually open source.

For a lot of FLOSS projects, it's common to keep the initial team small, so a product can be delivered fast, and gets opened up later.

It's to solve the "too many cooks" and prevent bikeshedding.

A lot of corpo espionage is there solely to tank potential competitors, which include FLOSS projects.

Made by the same dev as Pixelfed, which did a similar thing.

Loops is anti-libre software confirmed.

anti? is it against libre software? because it doesn't seem so

Why does software have a political stance?

It's missing a libre software licence text file.
