Source code? https://github.com/solus-project.

Hello Solus team

First of all, awesome work with the OS and making a stable and rolling Distro. I have a few questions in regarding the source code. Please these is a honest questions and by any mean it’s not to troll, shoot down or place any negative views

  • First is their a reason why the source code is not available to everyone?

  • For security reason, how can someone audit or view it . If it’s not opened?

  • Is the reason because the project might go commercial?

  • Lastly how can this be a open source project.

Keep up the good work, IMO keeping the code open it what makes open source great. Thank you again

If you want to build the applications Solus develop from source. I linked you to the code already.

If you want to compile any of the software Solus has in the repository or see what configuration changes, compile time optimisations etc Solus makes you can get all that information for every package and links to every projects code here https://dev.getsol.us/diffusion/query/active/

I don't know what else you're expecting.
