Is that open-source? It doesn't seem to be to me, but perhaps I'm wrong.

Here is a SVN repo I could find: https://jdownloader.org/download/index

Still, open source is not enough. If you can't build and run your modified version from source, it's like Android in that the devs are still under control of what the users do.

I try to use the term "free" or "libre" software as per FSF.

I did not attempt to build this project, it is up to you.

I see. I was just thinking that there was no reason to use a closed source program if there's a perfectly fine (and perhaps better) open source one.
