No, to say it very clear: this is NO open source software with an applicable standard license we are used in the field of real open source and all the long term security for the code. You can read on their download page.
I suspect software, that only relies on a self-made “software license” text and seems to be “free” but is in fact not. Not in the sense of open code, where the community can distribute. There is no reference to an officially legal license text, this can change any time (either in the one or the other way
).
But, I do not have a problem with a real dual license for example like EKOS/Stellarmate as long as the major base of the software will be open source. I personally am not interested in another monolith software clone like N.I.N.A.. But hey, be free to use this if you think it's worth the effort. I'll rather stay with the long existing Stellarmate/EKOS which sources it ideas and development of projects like Google Summer of code and various high-end developers worldwide instead of one developer (Nicola Amanda Mackin). No offense, this is a free world.
But I do not like to run behind every new software trend.
I use Firecapture on an intel based stellarmate, this just works and until more powerful arm machines are available. It's as simple as this
