Show HN: I built a free screen recording app similar to Screen Studio

While I appreciate the availability of this app as an open-source solution, I find it concerning when such innovative applications are replicated exactly.

I have downloaded exe for windows, Chrome saying "Failed virus detected"

It's just another self promoting spammer/grifter of the LLM era that this site has become flooded with. I thought they were just shovelware, but I guess viruses are a risk as well.

It's not a virus. You can check the source code: https://github.com/tamnguyenvan/screenvivid

Because the installer is not signed (due to budget constraints), it will be flagged as a virus. You can run it from the source:

https://github.com/tamnguyenvan/screenvivid/tree/main?tab=re...

That's great, but not "open source". The "Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International" license isn't.

I wasn't aware of that. Is there an open-source license available for non-commercial use?

No, kinda by (OSD) definition. See point number 6 here: https://opensource.org/osd

> 6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor > The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.

So if you wish to restrict the use of the Software "in a business" (or in other endeavours), it won't be considered "open source".

The CC licenses aren't great for software, either, IMO. They're great for things like assets, basically... and that's about it.

That said, there's plenty "code available" licenses you may use. You just can't then call them "open source" since they're not.

Another way to put it: say I provide a patch to that software for you. I release it under the same terms as you provided. If you use it, well... you can't use it in your commercial product... as the license forbids it? ;-)

Thanks for correcting me. I will change the license.

If you want to prevent sb else to offer it as an hosted service without releasing source code, AGPL could work.

But sb could still sell your app by just distributing its source code along.

Got it. Thanks
