A comment on Ask HN: "Free if you know how to compile it" open source license?.

This makes me think of pgModeller:

"pgModeler is open-source software, and you can get its source code anytime if you want to compile it by yourself. As a convenience, we provide compiled binary packages at a really fair price. Also, if you're interested in evaluating a binary package, you can get a demo copy before proceeding with the purchase." (quoted from from [1])

It's open source (GPL 3).

They give build instructions, but it's quite strenuous to build[2].

Will they accept patches to make it easier to build? :)

FWIW, seems also available in Debian - https://packages.debian.org/sid/pgmodeler and there are Docker builds, https://hub.docker.com/search?q=pgmodeler&type=image .
