It should be open source, as it would decentralize contributions and bug fixes. Well yes, of course. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

If I remember correctly, there are some devs on Hive that use other devs' (here or outside Hive) works (that are open-source) and claim them as their own, and those incidents make Hive devs hesitant to make their code FOSS. 🤔🤯

Oh, I didn't know that, and that's a very sad state of affairs I must say. Ugh. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I think that Hive funding proposals whose teams offer to make their codes FOSS (with enough funding) should make 100% of the particular app(s) FOSS (and not just particular sections of their codes), such that other devs who want to host their instances of (and fork) those apps can do so with minimal difficulty. 🧘‍♂️🤓

I agree, they should be entirely FOSS. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

There's the saying on the Internet that "even a 99% FOSSed app isn't FOSS at all", since something hidden in the 1% can potentially totally change what the 99% of the code does. 🤯🤯😅

Indeed, as it could be a trojan or a backdoor. It's pretty much an all-or-nothing sort of thing. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

!HOPE that the meaning of the term "open-source" doesn't change further in a negative way (after it changed from being usable by anyone to simply publicly viewable) to "at least partially publicly viewable code" !INDEED! 🤗🤯🤓
