What is Grayjay?

Grayjay is a cutting-edge app that serves as a video player and source aggregator. It allows you to stream and organize videos from various sources, providing a unified platform for your entertainment needs.

It's mostly used as a YouTube frontend^. However, it is now launching as a desktop app for Linux, Mac and Windows.

Again, no. The article you link specifically mentions problems with proprietary software that FUTO dislikes, not that Grayjay is proprietary.

The definition: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/proprietary

Grayjay's license does not fit this definition.

FUTO has exclusive rights to monetize it, If I do a better job then I should be paid no ?

That's my argument above. No, you should not.

FUTO isn't releasing this as FOSS, but they are doing something much better than most by releasing source available with noncommercial modification.

If you create your own solution, then yes, you should.

I think OSI should consider another tier of licenses that aren't FOSS but still "open" (source available), I don't think Grayjay should he considered FOSS (nor do they).
