![]() While it's accurate to describe the software as "free" because it is made available without charge (although the license is also not a free software license according to the FSF license list), it is not at all appropriate for it to describe itself as "open source." This use of the term "open source" to describe something under a license that's not only unapproved by OSI but known to be subject to issues is unacceptable.Īt our meeting this week, members of OSI's board expressed deep concern that the project is behaving in this way. In a 2013 article, Simon Phipps, director of the Open Source Initiative (OSI) said of TrueCrypt: This model is contrary to its parent project, TrueCrypt. It accepts community pull requests in its repository. Since version 1.19, VeraCrypt is multi-licensed under the terms of the permissive Apache License 2.0 and the TrueCrypt License 3.0.
