> Yaak is still open source under the MIT license. You can view, modify, and run the source code for both personal and commercial use. Licensing applies only to the prebuilt binaries.

That's a pretty interesting pricing strategy. I think REHL is the only other project I saw with this type of pricing.

I remember seeing another one while coming up with this, but now I can't remember what it was. It's definitely rare.

Since the binary and source release come under different terms, are there any technical differences between them? For example, some projects (like Visual Studio Code) will telemetry in the binary release, but do not enable it by default in the source.

[gschier]

No difference. You can see the build pipeline in the GitHub repository which builds directly from HEAD

I see, thanks! Very interesting project by the way, am looking forward to switching from Insomnia due to its enshittification.

"Is still open source"

Does this mean that you anticipate Yaak not to be open source anymore at some point?

[gschier]

Yaak used to not require a commercial use license (original plan was to do cloud sync), so "still" refers to the fact that the commercial use license now exists, but the open source nature hasn't changed. I'll update the wording there, thanks!
