Nostr is a description of how things work. Relay and client devs build software that works to fit this description. That is a protocol. It's always changing and evolving, guided by not only fiatjaf, but also the devs of clients and relays, a collaborative and combative process.

So open in the sense that anybody can build on it while the protocol can also be built on by the proprietor? Built from both sides?

Thanks, it makes more sense. I have never really tried to think about how it works.

Yes, except their is no proprietor really. Permissionless. Anyone can make an npub. Anybody can code whatever client they want. Anyone can run a relay.
