smileyhead,

Unfortunately not Open Source: gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay/…/LICENSE

I’ll keep using NewPipe. Their software seems neat, I’ll happly pay for it, but no way I’ll do if there is licence like that.

Edit: They say the licence is only temporary. Let’s keep an eye which one they’ll choose later.

smileyhead,

That’s their goal. They have good intentions. But it also means no commercial use.

You can’t do “Hey, can you add this feature to this app, I’ll pay you” or “Here is much improved version you can buy from me” or “We give you paid support and help for this software for your company”. Eventually all improvements bounce back to original creators anyway, see: vital paid Wordpress theme ecosystem, most of them being GPL licenced.

With project getting bigger such restriction can be almost as bad as with propietary app. Like, imagine Linux kernel but only with Linus Torvalds having right to sell computers with it or offer any services making money.

smileyhead,

And before locking check if the ROM boots at all! Locking will wipe data anyway, so it’s better safe than sorry as a button to allow unlocking is in the system settings.
