Obsidian is Open Source? I switched to Logseq because it wasnt open source. A friend wasnt even allowed to install it on his Work PC becauze Obsidian wants 50โฌ per Year when not used at home privately.
It is absolutely not open source, it is source available. You can view all the JavaScript source from inside the app in the development console. But that doesn't mean that you have license to reuse the source, or the app for that matter.
Ah ok, well, at least somethinf
yeah, I kinda like it. All my work crap is still in a tiddlywiki tho :)
A developer wanted to earn money for software used commercially? Oh, the humanity!
The topic is about FOSS
Plenty of FOSS projects have commercial licenses. Pfsense, MongoDB, TrueNAS, Elastic, Portainer, Proxmox, Docker...
Just gonna add, if we are on this topic, see boringcactus's blog post - Not "Any purpose".
note that ze use some strong language on their blog.
This is absolutely brilliant, thanks for sharing. The "Why The Fuck Would You Even Do That Holy Shit Public License" made me laugh out loud. Good stuff, and I agree 100%.
