It’s not open source, it lacks a license entirely. And, therefore, nobody is allowed to build it themselves.
You can sure build it, if you want to. And the source is open, so you can check it out. But sure, I’ll cave. What would be a better term for this?

Yes, damn developers wanting money for their work!
It's the plain fact that if this were a problem on Windows or linux, a free script would be available, but because it's Apple, it's a paid plugin or add-on, as it is with everything you need to customise an apple device.

We agree, then :) If they’re anxious regarding the privacy implications of using this extension, they can build it themselves.

Alright, I agree, that was a misuse of the definition on my part, and I should have said “Source-available”. I was unaware of this definition, so thanks!

Agreed. But in those cases where I don't like DDG results, I like how I can add "!g" to the end of my search and it redirects the search to Google.
Doing this on mobile is really not fun, I wish it was a simple click in their results UI
