The EU has released an open source CAPTCHA solution

Is it open source? If no, proton can suck my stroganoff.
Edit: The official subreddit of Proton says that it is a proprietary CAPTCHA system. Great.
Proton has opened sourced everything so far and I would expect them to do that here. They have whole pages written on why they open source everything and why that helps privacy.
Open source and free (as in free speech) are two separate concepts, software can be open source and proprietary
Does it say that both the front end and back end are proprietary, or just the back end? I’d be fine with a closed source back end
I’d be much happier if they’d finish building Drive to have auto-upload like every. other. cloud. service.
We keep hearing “small team” so why do they keep adding half-done products and services?
Rclone added beta support.
Proton finishing drive would be nice.
In browser file editing is the biggest feature I’m missing from Google Workspace.
That can’t be done without a massive, massive amount of engineering hours well beyond proton’s size. There’s a reason only huge software companies like Google or Microsoft are able to offer that.

Other than making the web tedious to use, my biggest CAPTCHA complaint is that it puts the main providers in a position to monitor everyone’s web use. The blog post doesn’t address that, but it does say this:
No third-party services
Perhaps they mean it’s self-hosted? That would be very welcome. It might require open source code to catch on, since many site owners are uncomfortable running mystery code on our servers. That would be very welcome, too.
Here’s hoping it’s good.

And yet Node.js exists and flourishes.
The Node package manager is used in some web applications and has a very trusting distribution model, but it’s not particularly relevant to what I wrote (red herring fallacy), and GP’s phrasing alone is enough to identify them as a heckler. Please don’t feed the trolls.
