    Its open source code and Louis Rossman has a big following. If it ever gets anything malicious put in it the world will know quickly.

        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”.
