Haha, I know that Sourcehut is open-source and you derive revenue from the fact that people prefer to use it as a SaaS product, but it is amusing that the SaaS-ness of it means that your statement only applies to the front-end portion.

The SourceHut backend is also open source. A related idea is "if you're handling my data, I'm entitled to view the code which is doing so".

Right, right, I know. It's just the style of what you said was amusing, not your actual practice, which is consistent.
