Contradicting and misleading information

[edit]

In the summary of the article, it is said that:

Sphinx is a fulltext FLOSS search engine

However, in the data table, the license section says:

GPLv2 and commercial; proprietary since version 3

Since the latest version of the software is proprietary, I find it misleading to call Sphinx a FLOSS search engine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Togira Ikonoka 123 (talkcontribs) 13:23, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • They changed license from GPLv2 to commercial from version 3 of this software. Although they declare a certain "Delayed FOSS license", no one still understands what this means and has not seen its text. Caramoble (talk) 14:54, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
