There’s a disturbing trend in public-interest apps: They’re released for free, but without clear open source licensing or access to source code.
I think it’s not that the developers don’t want the apps to be open source — they just don’t think of doing it (and perhaps don’t understand, or don’t know from personal experience, how great the possibilities would be if they did it).
This is a pet peeve of mine.
