Watched Louis Rossman today, and he’s part of the team behind a new app for watching online video content - not just youtube, but nebula, peertube, twitch and more.

adblock already integrated, works amazingly with a quick test on my end - it’s an app in the Lemmy spirit

(it’s got a paid model similar to winrar, you don’t have to pay - but they do want you to - opensource and all)

    It is open source but you can’t publish modified code

    That’s not what most people consider “open source”.

    It’s pretty hilarious that Rossman thinks malicious forks are going to care about the license, lol. Malicious devs clone Candy Crush and every other proprietary app they can find just to insert ads or maybe malware. Plus, basic trademark law already allows fighting fake apps, I don’t see how such a restrictive license is supposed to help.

      That’s not the problem. The question is, stopping actors that put ads and paywalls behind modified source, which technically isn’t malicious, it’s just being a jerk and this licensing makes it much easier to take down. Ofc, if he actually wanted it to be open source, he’d just force all derivatives to be non commercial.

      I mean, at least in this case he can take down fake copies from the most popular app stores. That mitigates the reach of malicious clones a lot.
