They said they’ve been working on it for at least a year so not having a proper license can only mean the license will get more restrictive.

Just asking: what rights are missing for this to be FOSS?

They can vary the terms of the license for future commits.

The license seems similar in terms of effect to the MIT license while still giving them control over trademarks and images.

I’d call this a more restrictive form of MIT but not as copyleft as GPL.

Louis Rossman said in his video that this was so people didn’t repackage the application with ads and malware. He said it’s fair game to recompile and altar it in any other capacity though.
