it used to be "see source, but no touch source" when it came out, and now it's "see source, touch source, no sell source". Not exactly proprietary, not free as in freedom. Kinda gray zone here, pun intended
"See source, no touch source" is called source-available.
"touch source, no sell source" is a new phenomenom and there are multiple names to describe this. I personally like "fair-source" though.
I knew of Grayjay but did not know it was open source now. A lot of the app is written in Kotlin which is promising for cross platform
