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. π§ββοΈπ€

I agree, they should be entirely FOSS. πππβ¨π€

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. π€―π€―π

Indeed, as it could be a trojan or a backdoor. It's pretty much an all-or-nothing sort of thing. πππβ¨π€

!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! π€π€―π€

Yep, me too, especially considering how the meanings of several words have been intentionally changed to facilitate certain agendas. πππβ¨π€

Maybe it would be a good idea for someone to create a book (or at least a website) with the changes in what dictionaries have for the same terms then (about 50 years ago) and now. π€π§ββοΈπ€
