20 <div class="post-text">
21 <p><a href="https://v2.onivim.io">Onivim</a> is a &#8216;modern modal editor&#8217;, combining fancy
22interface and language features with vim-style modal editing. What&#8217;s wrong you
23ask?</p>
24
25<p>Apart from <a href="https://github.com/onivim/oni2/issues/550">buggy syntax highlighting</a>,
26<a href="https://github.com/onivim/oni2/issues/519">broken scrolling</a> and
27<a href="https://github.com/onivim/oni2/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%3A%22daily+editor+blocker%22+is%3Aopen">others</a>,
28Onivim is <strong>proprietary</strong> software. It is licensed under a commercial
29<a href="https://github.com/onivim/oni1/blob/master/Outrun-Labs-EULA-v1.1.md">end user agreement license</a>,
30which prohibits redistribution in both object code and source code formats.</p>
31
32<p>Onivim&#8217;s core editor logic (bits that belong to vim), have been separated from
33the interface, into <a href="https://github.com/onivim/libvim">libvim</a>. libvim is
34licensed under MIT, which means, this &#8216;extension&#8217; of vim is perfectly in
35adherence to <a href="http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/uganda.html#license">vim&#8217;s license text</a>!
36Outrun Labs are exploiting this loophole (distributing vim as a library) to
37commercialize Onivim.</p>
38
39<p>Onivim&#8217;s source code is available on <a href="https://github.com/onivim/oni2">GitHub</a>.
40They do mention that the source code trickles down to the
41<a href="https://github.com/onivim/oni2-mit">oni2-mit</a> repository, which (not yet) contains
42MIT-licensed code, <strong>18 months</strong> after each commit to the original repository.</p>
43
44<p>Want to contribute to Onivim? Don&#8217;t. They make a profit out of your contributions.
45Currently, Onivim is priced at $19.99, &#8216;pre-alpha&#8217; pricing which is 80% off the
46final price! If you are on the lookout for an editor, I would suggest using
47<a href="https://vim.org">Vim</a>, charity ware that actually works, and costs $100 lesser.</p>
