That's not because you didn't know about it that it is a "new trend"

It's nothing new, and also exist in the tooling side of things

Aseprite isn't open source.

What are you talking about? The parent comment literally linked the GitHub repo with the Aseprite source.

But that repository doesn't have any FOSS license. Only I can find is "EULA.txt" which contains stuff like:

> (c) Prohibition on Reverse Engineering, Decompilation, and Disassembly. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, except and only to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation.

And more. Doesn't seem FOSS, more like "readable source" or similar.

They switched from GPL in 2016: https://dev.aseprite.org/2016/09/01/new-source-code-license/
