What part of Odysee is not libre?

Apps

I see that the Odysee app on F-Droid says “Odysee website itself is not libre.” but I can’t find out which part is not libre.

Note: New users can only put 2 links in a post. Annoying.

Front end: GitHub - OdyseeTeam/odysee-frontend: The code that runs odysee.com · GitHub (MIT)
Web Server: odysee-frontend/web at master · OdyseeTeam/odysee-frontend · GitHub (MIT)
API: githubcom/OdyseeTeam/odysee-api (MIT)
Media Server: githubcom/OdyseeTeam/player-server (MIT, they forgot to add the license file but the README states “This project is MIT licensed.”)
Docs: githubcom/OdyseeTeam/odysee-docs (MIT)
Media Conversion: githubcom/OdyseeTeam/odysee-media-usagi (MIT)
Transcoder: githubcom/OdyseeTeam/transcoder (MIT)

Thanks.

Can this be hosted? Does anyone do it?

Maybe we can move the AF to TetheredNet instead

It seems from that link that the source code couldn’t originally be found so maybe it wasn’t public back then but it seems to be now. I don’t see how 7b in their TOS applies? If I’m understanding correctly it says their terms ONLY apply when using their hosted instance of the software and not if you are hosting on your own.

The repos all provide instructions on how to run them so in theory it can be hosted, but I’m not aware of any public third-party instance. I think the TetheredNet would make more sense.

But let me be clear: I am NOT certain that it is libre, I was simply asking. There very well might be some component that is closed-source.
