What is Grayjay?

Grayjay is a cutting-edge app that serves as a video player and source aggregator. It allows you to stream and organize videos from various sources, providing a unified platform for your entertainment needs.

It's mostly used as a YouTube frontend^. However, it is now launching as a desktop app for Linux, Mac and Windows.

I 100% agree with all of this. Grayjay should not be considered FOSS or "Open Source". But I, like Stallman of before, don't like the choice of Open Source as representative of Free and Open Source. I am in the minority and will of course live with that.

I just wish that since OSI has a hold of the terms, and those who aren't as knowledgeable as yourself will default to "not OSI = bad" that they would open the doors to another tier. The world is very different now than it was in the 80s.

A good example is Codeberg, an Org I'm a huge fan of, only list OSI licenses in their drop down, and actively focus on adoption of OSI licenses, when I would be happy to see SSPLv1 software there.

It's the reason some of my professional (corporate) projects can't leverage Codeberg and continue to use GitHub, while others I run for the same organization can be since they are MIT.
