Immich it licensed under AGPL 3 and the code is open - isn't that FOSS?
I know some of their apps are licensed under a semi-open license of their own creation and that's been touchy to say the least. But is it true to say that none of their apps are FOSS?
Ah. My mistake. I'll edit my comment.
Edit: According to another comment in this post, FUTO "took over" Immich. Seems like maybe Immich was AGPLv3 before FUTO got hold of it. Still qualifies as "one of FUTO's projects", and your point is still well made, but it does still add a bit of context, and honestly I have to wonder whether future versions of Immich will remain FOSS.
They actually reliscenced from mit (or some permissive liscence) to AGPLv3 right before getting "taken over" by FUTO (futo now pays the immich devs to work full time on the project)
I'll be honest- never even heard of futo outside the context of immich (and I don't even run it.) Interesting to hear they have anything besides that.
