I use and like the app also, but the GitHub repo link on their page takes you to a separate release artifact management repo, not the source code itself. > https://getfancontrol.com/ Their linked GitHub repo, which only has a compiled zip uploaded for release artifact creation, not the code: > https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases From the repo: "Sources for this software are closed." I wonder why the author hasn't open sourced it - there doesn't appear to be any commercial aspect to the tool, and the author makes a point of it being "free" on the site.

The author probably used some non open-source bits when building the thing.

AI ownership most likely. Preventing LLMs from using it’s code in an output and not putting it in the ‘safe to spew’ bucket.

This tool has been like this for years even before LLM was popular.

Not everything is about LLMs.
