    FUTO

    Sadly, FUTO is under a proprietary license.

      FUTO is a lot of things, some of them not great, but its products are all under AGPL 3.0 license.

      True, but I’d still rather people use FUTO keyboard instead of gboard.

      It’s not a proprietary license, it’s on the very permissive end of source available

        Licence used by FUTO Android Keyboard: FUTO Source First 1.1:

        • https://github.com/futo-org/android-keyboard?tab=License-1-ov-file

        IsItReallyFOSS verdict: “Nope!”

        • https://isitreallyfoss.com/projects/futo-keyboard/

        I looked into this a few days ago re video app Grayjay, a FUTO project under version 1.3 of the FUTO Source First licence.

          OK, I’ll concede the futo source first license. Also, immich is indeed under AGPL 3.

          Let’s leave that drew devault rambling blog in the conspiracy bucket, it’s been discussed to death here.
