  By the acronym, opening up the source code to the public would make it open source. What is Grayjay missing to be open source then? Accepting contributions?

    No, that’s not how it works. It is source available

        Open source/libre/foss all have to do with the license. Grayjay doesn’t have a license that meets the criteria because it places arbitrary restrictions on the code.

        It has nothing to do with contributions. You can ship the code on a CD and that is totally fine as long as it has the proper license.
