Hi all!
I am an open source project maintainer and I was referred to this
mailing list recently as a good place to ask questions.
I was recently told by a community member that I should not be using
the term "Open Source" as it has legal implications and the project
doesn't fully embrace that term.
For a more complete discussion, this is the current form of the license
in question:
https://github.com/caprover/caprover/blob/f9d880e8c3b56adfd0778aed105587c63b599db8/LICENSE
