Where Projects are Evaluated
To see if they're as free and open source as advertised
The software rights of users are continuously (and often opaquely) being eroded by the desire of growth.
This website aims to push back against that by bringing transparency to FOSS software users.

Some Interesting Cases
Windmill
A webhooks & workflow engine
Windmill has a license which is very complex to follow, since the code is stated to be under a mix of licensing terms depending on folder, compile flags, and if code relates to license check features. This then mixes with the AGPLv3 in a questionable license cocktail.
OnlyOffice combines inventive interpretation of the AGPLv3 with trademark requirements which effectively makes rebranding and commercial forking impossible. This is something we discuss with their Legal Manager, as seen in the details for this project.
