While it's not OSS in the common sense, the source code is available. https://vivaldi.com/source/

Not open source per OSI criteria, however they claim the source is available and can be inspected:

I might have answered my own question: https://vivaldi.net/userblogs/entry/a-few-words-about-open-s...

https://github.com/ograycode/vivaldi-source (not-official mirror)

I'll have to try building it from source.

Vivaldi is Open Source, they just doesn't have github repo and they aren't "crowd-based open source" (I don't know how to call it).

While Vivaldi is not open source, they do provide the source code in tarballs: https://help.vivaldi.com/article/is-vivaldi-open-source/

vivalidi is open source https://vivaldi.com/source

you can't contribute to it like you can with something on github, but the source is open none the less

While it is technically proprietary I'll ask you to read their statement [0] on the matter. The absolute majority of the code base is open.

No, it's not Open Source either: http://opensource.org/osd

Just because you can host and possibly read the code, it doesn't mean that it has to be open-source. [1]

Sounds similar to https://github.com/mozilla/uniffi-rs. Hopefully Oso open source their library.

vortico | karma 5453 | avg karma 3.42 · | 2019-02-02 23:51:16

That's called "source available", not "open source". At least according to the OSI. https://opensource.org/osd

Note: Infinit is not yet OSS. They plan to open-source the code, but have not yet done so: https://github.com/infinit/infinit/issues/1

chei0aiV | karma 1664 | avg karma 3.2 · | 2015-11-29 09:43:01+00:00

That doesn't sound like the open source that I know.

It's not free software or open source. Check the Open Source Definition: https://opensource.org/osd

gojomo | karma 29822 | avg karma 3.73 · | 2014-02-27 03:13:18+00:00

'source available to compile' ? 'open source'

I don't know if it's crazy, but I wouldn't say that site is the answer. Yes, it has the open source word all over it, but have you spent two minutes to look at the content? Most of the "relevant" stuff is just to comply with third party OSS licenses (read: non APSL projects).

Although not exactly the same, it looks to me more or less like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=2...

OSS is about community not just a website to release files (aka "code dump"). If you had pointed to http://www.webkit.org/ or http://www.cups.org/ ; well, that would be different.

EDIT: typos

That's not enough to be open source: http://opensource.org/osd-annotated

dec0dedab0de | karma 7735 | avg karma 3.27 · | 2013-10-01 16:34:40

I don't think that would actually count as open source, at least according to http://opensource.org/osd
