I totally agree with you. My comment on it being “open source” was meant as more of an open code model with donations and contributions kinda thing. I can take bootstrap, or ui-kit, or whatever and build what I want with it. I can donate back. Source via paywall isn’t that helpful in this case as any “component” is easily created and styled by someone who has skills in html/css/js. As I mentioned, I sometimes will buy entire themes from sites that give me not only style but common components I can just implement. I’m not adverse to this, but to simply take away the theme and just provide components, to me, isn’t worth the paywall.
