In the last years, I have seen plenty of users telling or promoting certain ultra-permissive rules as part of Open Source but which are not even in the definition like the use of read-only licenses, being a good example the MEGA software.

However, I didn’t find exact source of these ideas and only believed in the misinformation of certain videos in *tube or similar.

Today, I was looking for a FLOSS VPN client to use at home as I use MATE DE and found Printunl Client promoted as Open Source. Or that was everything until I read the license.

    I had to abandoned Firefox due to a really horrific response issue (despite clearing caches etc) - I have about 20 tabs open per browser and it was slowing really badly obviously due to one or two of those tabs chewing up resources. But yes I certainly used its vertical tabs along with Vivaldi (until I discovered Vivaldi’s abuse of open source).
