Some Firefox users noticed playback issues on YouTube for several months. These affected high resolution videos only, from 1080p and up. To make matters worse, no clear pattern could be identified....
If someone posts their source code publicly, it's open source. It's unreasonable to ask them to review and maintain every PR sent their way. If they want to work on it by themselves, that's fine. If you want to fork it and make changes yourself, you can. Literally the only qualification for something to be open source is that the source is open.
It's also unreasonable to be upset if they tell you you're not allowed to take their work and re-sell it for your own profit. That would be like saying that artists are in the wrong for being upset that all those AI companies used their work to train their bots without asking. "Why would they prevent the creation of nonfree applications that use their work?!" I assume that's not your position, right?
But as you said, NewPipe is also copyleft, and it seems like you don't have a problem with that. So I don't really understand what your issue is with Grayjay/FUTO. It's reasonable to be concerned about where their funding comes from, but you haven't mentioned that. You say they have "marketing lies", but haven't pointed to any.
It's perfectly fine for there to be multiple open source solutions to the same problem, and you're allowed to have a favorite, but that doesn't warrant dragging the others' names through the mud for no reason.
You can’t just redefine an established term because it’s inconvenient to your argument.
Agreed, which is why you can't expect to enforce the definition you like on everyone. The only thing about "open source" that we agree on is that the "source" is "open".
It is literally the definition which has been used since the term's conception when the open source movement split off from the software freedom movement
No, it's the definition the Open Source Initiative has used since their inception. They are just one of many open source communities with their own licenses.
I think we'll have to agree to disagree (which is my entire point). Cheers.
