Lemmy seems like the right place to ask this. Personally I’ve really enjoyed Gurgle, which is a FOSS Wordle clone app.

    How come? Isn’t that like saying Linux is not open source these days because RedHat keeps making their code more restrictive?

      It would be like saying that if 99% of Linux users used RedHat.

      AOSP is open source sure, but realistically basically everyone is using a closed source version that the OEM has messed with.

        So that’s like saying Google, Samsung is not open source. Not Android.

        AOSP (Android Open Source Project) is separate from Google’s. Similar to how RHEL and other related OSs are separate from Linux. Even though Google contributes to Android and Redhat contributes to Linux.

          uhhhh… I think? Android is built from linux, with a modified linux kernel, so linux can still be open source even when Android mostly isn’t.

              Ghoelian has already responded to you with what I essentially meant:

                Same with Linux. I don’t know of anyone who runs Linux from Scratch. Every Linux distro adds non-open code, be it audio drivers or codecs and the like.
