Comment on YouTube is now fully blocking ad blockers around the world
linearchaos@lemmy.world 10 months agoI see there’s a lot of negativity around GrayJay and their licensing and I don’t disagree; but there’s a battle going on here It’s Google against the world. Having private paid entities working on this alongside the FOSS efforts is definitely not a bad thing. The fact that they’re running source available means that other people can look at what they’re doing even if they can’t use their code directly.

They can use the code directly. The license allows “review, compilation and non-commercial distribution”.
It doesn’t explicitly allow modification, but they do define “code” as “the code and any part of it and any derivative of it”, so clearly derivatives are expected.

You “can” use the code directly.
But if you don’t you’re not bound by their license and can foss your work.
