Is it _really_ open source if even just viewing anything requires an account?

You can explore the public projects here: https://opensource.ieee.org/explore

I wish there was a less email-centric workflow to contact the HN mods, because I think your link is much better than a sign in page for showing off the intended content

It's a discoverability problem of that particular page; as a sibling comment mentioned, it's possible to view the public project, it's just that this site has no link to /explore - just /search from what I could see.

Is it really open source if there's no repo at all? Absolutely

mattl2• 4 years ago

It’s perfectly valid for someone to just release tarballs of their source code releases. You don’t need a bunch of infrastructure to share software.

The GPL allows you to not publish the source, as long as you provide it on request. Several older “open source” projects were distributed exclusively by CD-ROM.

Yes. Open source is about being able to modify and redistribute code for the products you already have access to. It's not about just giving everything to everyone.

How exactly is this related?

teleforce2• 4 years ago

It's a Git book for electronic CAD and for those with EE (IEEE) background.

An IEEE service that would be actually useful.
