It's not a bug, it's a feature! (programming.dev)

I've noticed a small issue with my email client for quite some time now where composing a new email will have several blank lines by default.

It's not too much of an issue to simply delete them but hey, maybe no one had pointed this out before! So I filed a bug report only to get this response... basically it's not a bug, its a feature!

Is it something actually open source if

It requires a proprietary backend, kept secret
Not a single pull request is approved, all contributions are ignored for years, then finally rejected
The issue tracker is kept secret

Is the source code released under a license that allows you to use, change and distribute it? Then yes, it's open source. Open collaboration is a separate thing.

As long as they can put on their website "We support open source!" who cares right?
