The creator of Kinopio, a thinking canvas app, has decided to open source the code for the kinopio-client app on its 5th anniversary. This move allows users to run Kinopio on their computers, make changes, and share improvements. The app is lightweight, weighing only ~220kb, and can save data locally and to the kinopio-server. By open sourcing the code, the creator aims to share the effort put into Kinopio and allow for potential contributions from the community. However, there are risks involved, such as the potential for counterfeiters to clone the product. The creator acknowledges the challenges of managing code contributions but looks forward to seeing the activity in the repository. The decision to open source the app is driven by a desire to share the work behind Kinopio and engage with users in a collaborative manner.

It's not my kinda thing, but very neat!
Can you clarify if the server is also open source? If not, a more accurate headline would be "Open Sourcing Kinopio Client"; which is a very different thing.
Pirijan is being very cool opening up the main product in the first place- this isn't just a supporting library or sidecar.
2. You’re clearly worried about the commercial risk, why even do it? You have a section on this but even after reading - seems like a non answer.
