I am very new to linux and all the open source stuff (my first post on lemmy actually) so I don't get how this stuff works but flathub is saying that floorp is proprietary. But after a quick google search it says that floorp is open source licensed under MPL 2.0

Thanks for the explanation!

They can take their own parts (they didn’t sign an exclusive release of their code).

From this I understand that their attitude is "you can look at our entire code but don't try making something out of it. But you are welcome to help us :)"
