I don't understand; the only code in this repo is a third-party regular expression library. The readme says "All source codes [...] are provided under the terms of Apache-2.0 license", but where is it?

The dev wrote this in a Github issue earlier in the year:

> Currently, Windterm is allowed for personal stuff only, non-personal use is not in Windterm's short-term plan, up to now, the key issue is to finish all planned features, and make it into an amazing terminal. This is my dream.

> For source code issue, it has no relation with monetization, Windterm was developed and referenced from may OSS, now it's time to feedback to OSC. So part of core source will be opened once finished all new features with enough time, please pay more attention for more version and source code in future.

> As for your testing in commercial environment, only short-term testing within 30 days is allowed. I have remarked this in license for your well confirmation and permit.

Then a month ago updated the issue to say

> From the version 1.3, the license has been changed and WindTerm can be used for commercial and non-commercial purposes without limitations. Please keep follow and thanks.

He didn't clarify if it would be open source. Or how much of the core would be.

More source code is under cleaning and will be released, and the published regular expression library is heavily modified and not original.
> Staring from this version, source code will be gradually released under the terms of Apache-2.0 license as promised.
