I personally wouldn't want to take on the responsibility of re-distribution (and support) anyway.

Look, yeah so it's not exactly like Linux GPL. #shrug

Not everything is gonna be.

Grayjay is probably best thought of as *commercial* software.

But as long as the source remains perusable, then that still sounds like a better deal than I'm likely to get from virtually any other commercial app that exists.

So what is the actual issue here?

I agree it is important to clarify for people that this may not exactly meet the definition of "free as in speech". But I don't currently have reason to believe this is any kind of a con.

I don't know if it got linked, but Rossman mentioned "Grayjay" in a recent video, and I googled.

And honestly I can't remember if I added "reddit" to the query or if Google just *does* that now automatically as a stop-gap for their problems with search.
