Re:Atom editor still phones home prior to consent dialog by sjwright on Wednesday November 27, 2019 @05:48AM (#21646839)
It's not a restriction on the definition of open source. A truly open source marketplace has space for apps that do shitty things—and for forks that do fewer shitty things.

If anything is a restriction of open source, it's demanding that the developers of Atom implement a feature the way you want. If you don't like their code or their stewardship, badgering them on this one point doesn't fix the underlying difference in principles.
