Comment

Upon reflection, this appears to be, at best, creative advertising on the part of PayThyme, and at worst downright misleading.

Looking at their site, this is not "Open Source" by any usual definition - the developer's site says "Like most of the software we develop, PayThyme is provided under an open license that gives you full access to the source code."

PayThyme is sold. You may get the source code, but it does not appear to be an "open source license", and that != open source to most people.

It does rather look like a case of bandwagon advertising!
