I’m not asking about the video, it looks legit. I’m wondering about the comment with a link that I replied to.

The app is open source. Rossman even tells you to check yourself
Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That would help if I had any idea what I’m doing with code.
I just know I see a comment with a link to something different from what’s in the video posted above, and I’m not sure about clicking that link in the comment.

The license chosen expressly allows him to release the dogs on anyone who modifies the app for the purposes of malware distribution

Its open source and Louis Rossman has a big following. If it ever gets anything malicious put in it the world will know quickly.

It isn’t open source, the licence violates point six of the open source definition

It is open source. And it is free as in beer. It’s not free as in speech though. But I understand his reasons and they are justifiable IMO given the android ecosystem.

From my limited understanding, open source means a very specific thing. So this is just “source available”.

Are we talking about Grayjay from the video or the link in the comment I replied to?
