Does it tout itself as open?
I don't have much respect for the software, and even less respect for the useful idiots praising it despite never having used it.
It's my understanding that it's proprietary software, but you can use it for free and only have to pay if you make money off of a program developed with it.

in my town the gas station that's been closed for 10 years and is covered in vines still has a open sign on it lol
