Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike is not really open source. It’s more like source available

Yep…when software advertised as “Open” uses that type licence, it goes straight to the trash.

Normally I’d agree, but it doesn’t actually seem to be advertised as open source.

That said, it’s still IMO a terrible licence for code, the “share alike” doesn’t require sharing source code at all, because it’s not designed for code.

Yeah my bad…the title of the post said Open Source when I first saw it and I never clicked on the repo itself
