The backend was already open sourced months ago: https://github.com/joinloops/loops-server

That’s great! Hopefully it shows up on F-Droid sometime soon
Quick reminder that source without a license is source-available, not FOSS. Though I believe Daniel just forgot to add one.
Someone has already made an issue (Repo is missing a license) so hopefully that’ll be resolved soon.
He is a very busy man at the moment, as you can probably imagine. But yes we should make sure the license is included in the coming days to make it truly free. He still has yet to add documentation, but said on Mastodon that is coming soon.
The latest open issue is that a license is missing
Be real cool if registration was open.
It is
Ah, looks like waitlist was opened today.
I don’t see a license? Please provide evidence or delete the post.
I never claimed it’s FOSS, license is to be included by the creator. If it is part of the same project as the backend, it may be GNU AGPL-3.
If that’s not satisfactory, let me know and I will put (Source Available) in the title.
We take a hard line on open source in [email protected]. “Source available” software won’t do.
Okay, title has been updated to clarify the situation. At the moment, it’s neither confirmed source-available only nor confirmed FOSS. Hopefully that clears it up and nobody’s confused.
