The repository for the previously private submodule is still called Floorp-private-components, though it’s public.

https://blog.ablaze.one/4125/2024-03-11/ is a maintainer’s official response to… Reddit, which crossposted me apparently. Hooray!

      The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale.

            Yea, I know. The license doesn’t restrict use. Anyone can use the software for any purpose. They just can’t sell it.

                No, commercial exploitation is assumed ownership. It isn’t use. Open source is not CC0 — or at least that’s not the only possible open source license.

                BTW, I agree that, in this case, the dev is just throwing a tantrum over using the wrong license for his earlier work.
