    1. None of the Work may be used in any form as part, or whole, of an integration, plugin or app that integrates with Atlassian’s Confluence or Jira products.

    its just the apache 2 license with a restriction to not sell this project on one marketplace. Can still sell the code elsewhere. Its still totally open source, and honestly Confluence is not something I would loose sleep on. Jira has been a cash cow for a long time, and I have a beef with them anyway

      No, it’s not. Those restrictions are against the open source definition.

      Edit: Lol, people with no clue donvoting what they don’t want to hear. The open source definition is a fixed set of clauses. Read up on it.

        I have a totally different view, if I can use it in my own projects, that are released with an MIT or Apache 2 or similar license, then its open source.

        Not that I want to, but I could contribute to draw.io, or fork it and privately make changes, then make money off either the original repo or my fork, and its legal.

        I could sell one line of code change for a million dollars and then start writing daily taunting letters, daring them to sue me, and I would be fine.

        How is that not open source?
