It just replaced GNU parts. It’s a classical Theseus ship dilemma. It’s still GNU.
Software Freedom #0: The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose
Open source criteria #6: The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.
By forbidding some entities from using the software, it violates both Free Software and Open Source and makes itself proprietary.

So it does violate some core rules of both FS an OS. Also the text is so full of legal holes which makes it useless in it’s goal too. It only prevents good-intent individuals from contributing and acts as a tool in hand of big evil corpurates.

No. It’s not. It’s just a proprietary source-available software. The license is neither Free nor Open.

Unpopular opinion: Microsoft Office suite sucks in UI and UX. LibreOffice is far superior to it.
From a software engineering POV Photoshop is a bad software (against unix philosophy) and no Free Software wants to be a bad software, so forget about feature parity and use different apps for different things that mistakenly all done by Photoshop.

No. It’s not Open source at all!
From Open source definition: “The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.”

I really wish was a Free Software and not a proprietary one!

Discord is a mess and very hard to use. Element in the other hand is designed logical and easier to learn.

The hell with android apps. In my last year with Droidian, I got better replacements for any single app I used on Android!
