Its in my gut. For some reason I dont trust them. They have weird paid vs free rules. They control the data(You can get it out).

OpenNote is designed to be a simple alternative. You control the data. You can see the code. Your information in your control.

EverNote is not bad. However, in my gut I dont trust them.

Plus it was time for an open source third alternative.

By the way, note that if your app has a noncommercial restriction, it is no longer open source. That breaks part 1 of the definition:
