    FUTO

    Sadly, FUTO is under a proprietary license.

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

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

      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.

          …I know what the license says, I read it. Hence why I said it’s source available.

          Source available ≠ open source

          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.
