Building non-FOSS source-available tools helps the builders get paid for their work, while still providing the transparency needed for verification, as well as providing the possibility of guerilla underground reproduction of the tools if the government shuts the project down. Most source-available tools are free to use for anything except resale. Not only coinkite but also Start9 and Umbrel are non-FOSS source-available. These are badass cypherpunk tools. Without the freedom to license themselves according to their needs, some of these projects may not even exist at all.
Cheers 🍻 🤙
