    Its still totally open source

    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?
