Grayjay isn’t Free and Open Source (FOSS)
The PeerTube plugin is licensed under the GPL a Free Software License, but the Grayjay app isn’t, it’s licensed under a source available license. Why does this matter? Essentially, FUTO is welcoming user control and collaborative innovation when it comes to their plugin system, but not the app itself. To go further, this increased my concerns stated below about integrating other identity features. In short, the Grayjay app is useful, but still lacks essential software freedoms. If you’re interested in an android app that can truly decentralize the media landscape, I’ll reiterate my endorsement of antennapod.
