The README says that "komorebi is a free and open-source project", but on the contrary, the software licence that this is released under (the 'PolyForm Strict License 1.0.0') makes it proprietary software, not free and open source (FOSS). The source code is available, but the licence doesn't permit modification, which is a key aspect of FOSS. So if the author is reading this, please change either the README or the licence so that they correspond!


Thought this had been removed when we re-licensed from MIT to Polyform earlier this year - this has been updated.

To add back the more important part of the cherry-picked snippet by the OP:

> [...], and one that encourages you to make charitable donations if you find the software to be useful and have the financial means.

> I encourage you to make a charitable donation to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund before you consider sponsoring me on GitHub.


Thanks for the super-speedy response!
