minus-squarejaybone@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·9 个月前I’m a bit confused here. I used to work for a company that published the source code for one of their products. I.e. made it publicly available. But many of the build tools and build infrastructure were proprietary and internal (not published publicly.) So I’d say that was open source but not free, since you can’t really build and run it.
