Storytime
After jailbreak came out, it's been over 10 years. Developers like luca opened there source for community to study and learn coding from it. But this has been changed until Electra team. Some of the code they are using required them to open their source. And these days they even said a well-known tweak developer is making virus while he/she didn't. By the day this license was written, they still didn't opened their source of Chimera, Sileo and so on. Yes, they may have their right to keep it close sourced, but I can also performing my right to keep them away from my work.
