That’s a new trick! Call it source and put restrictive licenses and don’t allow outside contributions 😁
Discussion
To be fair, accepting contributions from outside folks requires a well-designed legal framework. Otherwise it's a legal mess. It could be that they just don't have it in place for folks outside the company.
Then it’s not open source
Sure.
It might be open source, just not free software
SQLite is open source, right….?
It also does not accept contributions also.
Open source defined by the Open Source Initiative does not include the right to force maintainers to accept your contribution.
That’s called “open contribution”
Ok, try to reproduce this 😄

Yeah, not claiming it’s open source, but also open source does not mean contributions need to be accepted
Definitely not a new trick, Apple has had Public Source for decades. I was going to suggest forking it and building it yourself, but there's a proprietary library for the fingerprint reader. 🤔 Maybe Blocks can at least reproduce the build, though I'm not sure how reassuring it would be if there were a 3rd party blob.
