I came across someone on Fediverse said he needs a GUI app for #homebrew for newbies. I found #Cork at first which claims to be open source but it charges for binary with no free options.
It is totally okay for open source software to charge and I think they should, just as hard-line as RMS also encouraged so. However, digging deep into their license I found Cork totally prohibits distribution (w/ or wo/ modification) and providing self-compiled binary. 1/2
