Grayjay isn't FOSS.

Can you explain? It's part of the FUTO project and has it's source available here: https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay

And has releases available to F-Droid through the FUTO repo.

I see the license heavily restricts commercial endeavors with the code, but otherwise seems quite permissive?

Free Software, as defined by the FSF, cannot restrict commercial use, and the OSI says the same about Open Source.

[–] kata1yst 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Well, fair I suppose. Definitions and semantics being what they are, and the FSF and OSI certainly have more basis for knowing when something is FOSS.

However, the source is there and the project is open and active, that's good enough for me philosophically.
