I use Gboard, as I’m on Android.

Do you use Gboard or the clipboard feature? Or use a similar feature of an other keyboard app?
Do you use apps like NetGuard or TrackerControl to restrict net access to the keyboard apps?

Have tried some FOSS apps some years ago, but didn’t stay on them because, Malayalam(my mother tongue) and the handwriting mode(which is quite good), is not available in most other apps.

I had thought about turning on the clipboard history option and am thinking about the privacy/security aspect behind it. As per Gboard, it remembers history for 1 hour and there seems to be no sync option. So it seems sort-of safe. Thinking about such things since I do copy-paste OTP’s.

    I apologize, I got your comment confused with the other person’s who said the ability to commercialize is the important detail FUTO’s license is missing. You had said, “they require some form of ability to fork the code, and to be able to do useful things with that fork” which the FUTO license does already explicitly allow, so I assumed by “and do useful things” you also meant “commercialize”.

    So yeah it sounds like we’re in agreement, and the FUTO license is already reasonably “open source”.

      Does FUTO’s license allow me to maintain my own fork under a different name to offer to fellow users, that is no longer under control of FUTO? I’m not selling (commercializing) it. If not, it is source-available.

        It does allow this,

        You may use the software for any purpose.

        You may modify the software only for non-commercial purposes such as personal use for research, experiment, and testing for the benefit of public knowledge, personal study, private entertainment, hobby projects, amateur pursuits, or religious observance, all without any anticipated commercial application.

        You may distribute the software or any part of its source code only if you do so free of charge for non-commercial purposes.

        But hey, way to read the source material before explaining it to someone ;)
