Ladybird going source-available is quite unfortunate, seems like Gecko is the only production-ready independent browser engine we're left with. They may, at this point, go ahead and remove "get involved" block from their website https://ladybird.org/, since it's not possible to contribute anymore. | ||||||||

That's not source-available, that's still open-source. Quoting Wikipedia: > Source-available software is software released through a source code distribution model that includes arrangements where the source can be viewed, and in some cases modified, but without necessarily meeting the criteria to be called open-source. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source-available_software > Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is released under a license in which the copyright holder grants users the rights to use, study, change, and distribute the software and its source code to anyone and for any purpose. Open-source software may be developed in a collaborative, public manner. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software And as said here, SQLite was operating like this forever. | ||||||||

It's not source available, source available implies some restrictions on what you can do with the source, or with any resulting binaries. This isn't a rugpull; all they're doing is closing off contributions, which has nothing to do with the license of the code. | ||||||||

This is not the same as source available - you can fork it, the license didn't change. | ||||||||
