    Uhhh… I think you misunderstood, or maybe i did (asking for confirmation) they changed the license to apache for forbidding others from selling their code and still having it open source.

      It seems “open source” means different things for different people.

      If you could see the code but were not allowed to redistribute it then I’d call it “source-available”… but you can redistribute the code, in this unusual case.

      Forbidding reselling to any degree makes it “non-free” (as in freedom), which is the important part. The term “open source” was created to speak about “free software” without the moral or political aspects of user freedom.
