Its license has strict limitations on what you can use it for. It’s not open source in any reasonable sense.

It is open source (the code is right there), but it's not Open Source due to what GP references. There is a distinction.

I'm not sure the same argument that Facebook's marketing teams use, hold a lot of water on a really programming-heavy forum like this :)

The project seems nice, but how good is that domain name

We're talking in English, not in Go. The meaning doesn't change that much because of using uppercase initials. What you're referring to has already been consolidated as "source available".

Cheers! Kanboard is a great project, but I found the UI/UX a bit lacking (just personal preference)

I agree. UI/UX lacks some basic data like the project start date, which is kind of odd for a PM app.

biggest problems with trello, having using it 14 years or so - if user deletes card/list/board it's gone forever for whole group - i want to share board with secret link(no login) but this user cannot have rights to open any card, maybe just comment. Not available at all in trello

This will sound crazy but I wish there was an open source “everything” app. If this could grow into a slack alternative (where channels can host a kanban board) with http bot api and built in charting and dashboards and python notebook snippets etc etc so we can get things in one place… that would be great!!
