Is LR open source?

I’m tired of looking about the owners of this, it’s amazing, just wanted to know about the licence, and other software from the same team

I found this old reply from a dev:

@David_Wilkinson

Me and Ognjen talked about open source at the beginning of the project. The goal is high-quality software (well, we’re trying…) for a low/reasonable price for users, and some income for us. I’m aware of a few other similar extensions that were/are open source, looking in the commit history, it’s often just a single guy plugging away, with few contributions. Open sourcing I think would make it harder to make an income from the project. Having said that, if someone is interested in doing some significant work, we can add you to the repo and throw some cash your way from time to time (that’s called a job, right?). After two years of hard work with little income, the project now makes on the low end of a US developer salary. It’s nice making a tool that is used by a lot of people though. Ideally Netflix would pop up and say, ‘hey, nice work guys, you are providing value for our users, here, we’ll sponsor your project, and, all features can be free for all users.’ We’ve tried contacting them through a few channels, no response unfortunately.

And this one on the same topic thread:

@David_Wilkinson

I’m thinking to open-source the linguistic processing code sometime soon, it’s turning into something that could be useful for other projects.

They might have just decided to put it on the back burner for now. Not sure.
