Did you actually read the license?

To expand, unlike a free software license where you are free to create a fork, if FUTO stop supporting it you’re fucked

It says you’re free to make your own edits for non-commercial use though right? Is that not the same?

What if you want to accept donations to continue development? Is that commercial use? Does the license explicitly allow it?

It isn’t a free software license. (Yes I did read the license and it is not free software compatible)

Honestly you should be neither. “Influencers” and other popular characters should not tell you what to do. I am speaking from the perspective of the free software community. FUTO seems to think they can just solve all the problems but the issue is that the create brand new ones. For instance, the ability to fork the code is very important. A license should not restrict a developers ability to fork and make derivative works. A good example of this is Simple Mobile Tools. Simple Mobile tools was bought out by a Iranian ad firm (somehow) and they of course didn’t care to maintain the community and were set on making it profitable. It was forked and it is now called Fossify. The F-droid team initial suspended the app from further updates but after the intentions of the new owner became clear they went ahead and replaced it with the fork. This wouldn’t of happened under the FUTO source available model. They want you to only get software from the original creator. It feels a whole lot like the business license.
