It's not open source as the title says, they just store a crippled version of the binary on Github. Check the "source" directory if you don't believe me. It's almost comical the way it's set up.

There are lots of samples at https://github.com/StationQ/Liquid/tree/master/Samples

what makes you think its crippled?

EDIT: Do you use this kind of stuff? It's a little outside of my wheelhouse.

EDIT EDIT: I just set through a youtube lecture about this thing and its freaking amazing. I wish that I worked with stuff like this. Complaining because they didn't release some part of this as "to your liking OSS"...you need to hush. This thing is awesome and science is cool.

EDIT EDIT EDIT: https://youtu.be/4mMizLpIVKs This was the ACM talk that I watched. Wow.

"LIQ𝑈𝑖⏐〉" is a very strange logo... Doesn't seem terribly legible to me.

It is for the physicists. The D is a ket...

Well, I have to admit I didn't realise it was supposed to read 'Liquid' until I read this comment. Somehow I had missed the title.

'To your liking' has nothing to do with it. If the title said it was open source, and its not, its not open source. Just because its 'cool' doesn't forgive misinformation.

The samples are open source. They extend and use F# which is open source. The page that is linked to doesn't say anything about open source, just that it's on GitHub. (It also says it runs on Linux and .Net, both of which are...)

The person that I was replying to said that the title claimed it was open source. I didn't see that. It seemed like they were just complaining because didn't look like every other GitHub repo.

I don't think that there was 'misinformation'...but thanks to thought police HN is still free of people trying to subvert open source software by releasing research tools for free? Yay. We're saved.

EDIT: Was calling it crippled 'misinformation'? There doesn't seem to be anything impairing its operation from the reading that I did.

You're free to take your baseless claims elsewhere. I said if the title did include that, then it is false. Perhaps the original title did have that, I don't know. What you would do in that case is discuss that, and not make up things about thought police.

Whatever captain freedom. Consider me thoroughly chastised.

EDIT: So I guess calling it crippled wasn't misinformation?

EDIT EDIT: Never mind. I don't actually care what you think.
