broken scrolling and others, Onivim is proprietary software. It is licensed under a commercial -end user agreement licence, +end user agreement license, which prohibits redistribution in both object code and source code formats.

Onivim’s source code is available on GitHub, -but its licences make it fall under the ‘source available’ category and not -‘open source’. They do mention that the source code trickles down to the -oni2-mit repo, which contains (not yet) -MIT-licensed code, 18 months after each commit to the original repo.

Onivim’s core editor logic (bits that belong to vim), have been separated from +the interface, into libvim. libvim is +licensed under MIT, which means, this ‘extension’ of vim is perfectly in +adherence to vim’s license text! +Outrun Labs are exploiting this loophole (distributing vim as a library) to +commercialize Onivim.

Want to contribute to Onivim? Don’t. They make a profit out of your contributions. Currently, Onivim is priced at $19.99, ‘pre-alpha’ pricing which is 80% off the final price! If you are on the lookout for an editor, I would suggest using Vim, charity ware that actually works, and costs $100 lesser.
