         | The GPL allows you to not publish the source, as long as you
         | provide it on request. Several older "open source" projects

         | Yes. Open source is about being able to modify and redistribute
         | code for the products you already have access to. It's not
         | about just giving everything to everyone.

         | project, it's just that this site has no link to /explore -
         | just /search from what I could see.
