I think you guys are just discussing semantics. Revanced as a project is the patches themselves, so Revanced is open source. But a YouTube app patched with the Revanced patches is not.
Exactly. Could have just said YouTube is closed source from the start when ReVanced is 100% open-source.
Well I'm glad that's settled then.
That's a better way to frame it.
The patch is 'about as open source as you can get' but the actual application is far from it.
