Also just including closed source code with a open-source program, makes it a non-OSI open-source product, you cannot even mention it or any part of it as open source.Īs I said, if it was just the launcher and then you told people where to download the software and how to place it in the correct directory for it to work, then that would be fine. This is the way of users, it is a misleading thing to do. I, if I didn't know, would assume the whole of the program I just downloaded was open-source, not just the launcher. You talk about the launcher or not, it is still misleading. PS Seems like a nice app though, I haven't had time to play around with it yet, but on first glance, interesting. If you want to link to the download of just the launcher, you would be good to go, But you can't include the software.Īlso on that note, it surely sounds like you are the developer of this app, which means you are self-promoting a non-open-source app,as stated above, not a go on this site. To build on that, this site, as of now, host only open source OSI approved software, Launchers are counted, but you are distributing a commercial application as well, so this cannot be linked to. any code with the application that is closed source fails the OSI check, period. So it is not OSI approved, or open source period. Yes I understand you are trying to say the launcher is open source, but unless you open up clipmate itself, then it technically is not open source. But you can't have an open-source license in the readme file of the program if it is not open source.
