The free community version of Rustdesk Server (a competitor to the Teamviewer remote access software) is AGPL licensed.

The paid, proprietary Pro version builds on top of the community edition by adding extra features such as user authentication and a web backend for administration.

There exists a repo for the pro server: https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server-pro

But it only contains install scripts and no actual source code of the application.

The github releases page of this repo however, contains the compiled code of the proprietary pro version and is available for anyone to download for free.

Analyzing the disassembly of the pro and open source binaries shows that the pro version is definitely based on the open source version.

The company previously associated with Rustdesk, Purslane Limited of the UK, is no longer in operation since 2023.

The project has no CLA and so the dozens of previous contributors still hold the copyright to their code and have not given permission for it to be used in a proprietary version.

There have been multiple requests for the source code of this pro version, but either there was no response or the issue was closed without comment.

EDIT: The repo owner has completely deleted the issue, here is a screenshot: https://0x0.st/KaqD.png

To me this just proves they know what they're doing is wrong.

Ruby Central recently took over a collection of open source projects from their maintainers without their consent.

I was curious about your opinions (Not my article). Also this mentions Fossil & Pijul. Which are fully-fledged Git-Alternatives (Not just github)

Publication about the monopoly of GitHub and the fact developers should move elsewhere if they care about their freeedom and the freedom of FLOSS projects

The Austrian Armed Forces have been preparing for the switch to LibreOffice for a long time. Other LibreOffice users will also benefit from this.

The HIROH phone is apparently launching with /e/OS exclusively or before there is an Android version (which is great :)) ♥️

• 16GB RAM and 512GB of storage expandable up to 2TB, giving you room for everything that matters.
• A 6.67-inch AMOLED display and a camera system pairs a 108MP Samsung sensor with a 32MP Sony front lens for crisp, striking detail in every shot.
• A hardware kill switch; disconnected completely the microphone and cameras at the circuit level, leaving nothing open for intrusion.

Spotube is an open-source music streaming platform that functions as a lightweight alternative to the official Spotify client[^7]. The app allows users to stream music without requiring a Spotify Premium subscription.

Key features include:

• Ad-free listening using public Spotify and YouTube Music APIs
• Cross-platform support for mobile and desktop
• Downloadable tracks for offline listening
• Time-synced lyrics
• Anonymous/guest login
• No telemetry or user data collection
• Native performance without using Electron

A notable limitation is that Spotube can sometimes play mismatched tracks, particularly for less popular songs. Users have reported cases where the app plays incorrect versions of songs from YouTube when the original Spotify track isn't found[^5].

The app is available through:

• F-Droid for Android devices[^7]
• GitHub releases for desktop platforms^4
