The "open sourced" private components repo is under a fauxpen source (non-commercial) license. Floorp is still proprietary.

    Not proprietary, but source-available.

    source-available.

    Ergo, proprietary.

    edit: my prior comment on the difference between fauxpen source and true free software licenses. It's not just theoretical or "purist"

    Ok sure, but most people associate proprietary with closed-source. What's wrong with just saying source-available (instead of open-source)? Calling this proprietary just leads to confusion.
