    It’s interesting that a closed-source app has good reputation among FOSS enthusiasts. Surely they are not a Microsoft or Apple, but still who controls your computer, you or them?

      I just cant wrap my head around why they’re willing to go so far to gain good will from people by having such a generous free tier, but somehow licensing the code under a FOSS license is out of the question??

      Why not just go all the way and make sure everyone who cares about reading the souce could also give you free contributions?

        Yep and the Android app is full of small things to improve, for sure someone would put in contributions for free
