Where did you read that the software would be installable by 3rd parties? I’ve not seen that rumor anywhere. It wouldn’t be their first open source project, for sure, but I don’t think they’ve ever open sourced a whole app.
@ianbetteridge @aral @Five For those wondering just like me, the answer is a bit complicated, but in terms of settlements paid:
