What's wrong you +ask? + +Apart from [buggy syntax highlighting](https://github.com/onivim/oni2/issues/550), +[broken scrolling](https://github.com/onivim/oni2/issues/519) and +[others](https://github.com/onivim/oni2/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed+label%3A%22daily+editor+blocker%22), +Onivim is **proprietary** software. It is licenced under a commercial +[end user agreement licence](https://github.com/onivim/oni2/blob/master/Outrun-Labs-EULA-v1.1.md), +which prohibits redistribution in both object code and source code formats. + +Onivim's source code is availabe on [GitHub](https://github.com/onivim/oni2), +but its licences make it fall under the 'source availabe' catagory and not +'open source'. They do mention that the source code trickes down to the +[oni2-mit](https://github.com/onivim/oni2-mit) repo, which contains (not yet) +MIT-licenced code, **18 months** after each commit to the original repo. + +Contributing 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](https://vim.org), charityware that actually works, and costs $100 lesser. + -- cgit v1.2.3
