That is one of the problems with the term "open source": It does not
tell you whether it is Free Software.  TrueCrypt for example is not FS
because you need to send all changes back to the authors.  I have not
looked closer at the terms but that requirement alone is sufficient to
mark it as non-free.

Frankly, I don't understand why the authors go this way.


Salam-Shalom,
