It's nice of course that a company like Microsoft puts up instructions on how to install a competitive product. But why do I feel the urge to check for my wallet?

Quoting: Julius

Quoting: tfkTake KDE plasma for instance. The KDE team built it on top of Telerik's Qt. That one is open source as long as your application is free of charge. When you want to go commercial then you have to pay for a license. Not exactly OSS but it works for the KDE team.

This is outdated by around two decades. What rock have you been living under? qt is fully FOSS. It just *also* has a commercial edition.

And sure some Unity projects might be able to recycle this script code, but that doesn't make the game itself open-source. The engine is by far the largest part of the game and it is not even shared-source like the Unreal engine.

"qt is fully FOSS. It just *also* has a commercial edition."

Hahaha 😆 yeah sure Juli. Go read some licenses first before you come up with non-arguments.

What can others do with it? There is a huge community around Unity. All those developers can take code and inspiration from this project. They can contribute too.

The engine used allows for open source projects and I believe there is a free version too.

So while Unity may not be open source, this project is.

From an OSS viewpoint, I'm more interested in what Godot is doing. But that is because I'm enthusiastic about OSS. And that is a very different topic altogether.

Seems the X-Plane team is as dedicated to OSS as they are about aviation. :happy:
