It is open source, but Louis said that albeit it is open source, the app is 10$ or something like that, but you are free to pirate it and he won't be stopping you.

Or, rather, the "premium" features. No idea what are those tho.

This is his approach to IP broadly speaking, I believe.

Edit for clarity:

If you can't effectively try something without paying, pirate it and pay if you want to and can support it.

It's a goodwill model.
