#8Related SEO antics from Zendesk; misleading statements about them being open source (they’re not).
I called this out a year ago [0] and I’ll do it again here since it appears that they still haven’t fully cleaned this up.
For example, on this page [1]:
> What is Open Source FAQ software?
> … Zendesk offers open source FAQ software which means third party developers can build new integrations on our platform once you have signed up to use the platform.
And the Google search results for this page [2] shows this text (though I don’t see that text on the page itself so I assume this is coming from a meta tag):

This is the worst. Everybody claims to be open source these days. And they are not, or the "open source" part is barely supported, hard to run and even harder to deploy.

I think the point of the lyrics is to have "zendesk", "alternative" and "open source" on the same page for SEO reasons.
