# Change criteria for front-ends **URL:** https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/change-criteria-for-front-ends/20555 **Category:** Site Development **Tags:** rejected **Created:** 2024-09-02T13:07:56Z **Posts:** 2 ## Post 1 by @anon80779245 — 2024-09-02T13:07:56Z Since we now align with OSI for open-source definition, Grayjay can’t currently be added. I do basically believe we need to make sure that the new criteria - Ensures public instances are trustworthy - If it is a web-only instance, ensure anyone can run an instance - Know that any front-end apps are transparent and that you know how they work - Being able to build an app from source With that in mind, the new criteria could be > Web frontends should be open-source, while app-based frontends should be [source-available](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source-available_software) and have a license that allow for personal buidling and modification. --- ## Post 2 by @Niek-de-Wilde — 2024-09-02T13:19:16Z That is still not decided, but it is the likely end result of the current discussion. > > > Relevant discussion:https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/what-does-privacy-guides…-see-as-opensource/20230 the pr is still a draft, and our requirements are only official once they visible on the website.
