The original post is about a supposedly privacy focused keyboard that sends your voice and messages to OpenAI for speech to text. I posted saying I use the FUTO Keyboard as it’s open source and does voice to text on-device. There unsued a discussion about if the FUTO Keyboard is open source, as the license prohibits commercial use. After people sharing thoughts on this for a day, the mods removed the thread for being offtopic and promoting proprietary software. Even if you think that the license prohibiting commercial use makes it not open source, it certainly doesn’t make it proprietary.
If you could fork and remove a license, then GPL would be meaningless. You can fork but companies can’t sell their code.
They don’t want other companies to profit off the code. Maybe there scamming in there but on the surface it’s a worthy goal.
did you read the text about “Forking and Free Software” on the page I linked in my comment you’re replying to?
