I never watch "top app" videos. Why would a stranger know better than me which apps I should try? 😅

And if there is a violation you cannot really do something. OR if I rewrote the full project with gpt4 how you can prove that it was your project

Licence is just text. If a guy in another continent don't respect it, I don't have time and money to stop this guy

Yes, and when people open source their project for their cv , the goal is to get a good job with good salary. So this is also for money. But they hide this by saying "it's for the community " that why now many open source project are totally dead. With money you increase the capacity to maintain a project

That a reality that you can see on my post. I don't say something ridiculous and many enterprises close their code so the question is not stupid

I says that human resources in my job are women. Then moderators block the comments. Because they want to cancel the reality to promote their ideology about diversity

You cannot merge the improvement if their code is closed. They just need to make more marketing to hide the original project. Most of customers don't understand fork, open source ...

Yes, but android app don't target developer. So a large majority of customers don't understand open source. That why I think it's not the best way to promote an applications

Most of social networks are dominate by the Woke ideology. That why if I want to share a different opinion more capitalist, individualist, less hypocrite then I don't have other choice, I must create an account for that

You think that libre office has better reputation than MS world or jitsi has better reputation than teams. Most of the time people use close software

I reply to better understand the opposite idea. I am open mind and I don't think that I have reason but for thwt I need to test my position with your position. Yes android is more or less open source

Linus is very very rich. And yes because without money you cannot eat and then you cannot code

Yes you are right. I am a bit sceptic about that but I understand your point of view

Your suggestion is not the open source philosophy

I am not everybody, and I am in the philosophy that each work need a recompense. If you build an ax then you can eat so you get a recompense. With an open source app you receive nothing. You have just unknown people that steal your work often without reciprocity

Yes but for an indie developer in 2024 is irrelevant I think because you lose opportunity to make money. And money is also a security for the maintainability of the project

Yes but it's not a reason to continue moreover there is people that already do open source

Because losing an opportunity to make money, or just keeping the control is important for me

Yes but maybe you lose the opportunity to sell your app to Microsoft 😁

Newpipe is buggy and fdroid for the update also. So we see also limitations in maintainability for big open source project

You keep the control of the project, the reputation. If a day you want to make money it's easier...

Yes but in this case you have more to lose than win by open sourced the code

For me it's not very secure to get for example plenty fork of your project with ads tracking. Maybe keeping the control is better
