From today the license applied to the project will be the Apache 2.0 license with an extra line forbidding usage of the codebase as an integration or app to Atlassian's Confluence or Jira products....

@[email protected] why on earth would you use a title like that? It‘s just plain wrong. The project switched to a different license. It is still free and still open source.

It’s free as in free food but adding an extra line to restrict how it can be used, or with who, makes it non-free software (free as in freedom).

To a different license that, objectively, is not free and open source.
