If you want to take back control of your data, there are open source alternatives to almost every Google product

Yes, partially because I’m not entirely sure yet on what to do with those projects. Right now all those licenses get a zero score, so they’ll always be listed lower. But perhaps the move is to just not accept those licenses in the first place.

Right now it’s less than 10 projects, out of the nearly 500.

There are a couple of source available projects (https://openaltfinder.com/licenses/source-available), but because of the custom ranking, they’ll always be ranked lower anyway.

The “AI-free” part refers more to AI usage in building the alternatives, but I get your point.

It’s a fair point, the original idea was to make it easier for people to switch to open source software by framing it as “I’m looking for an X alternative, so here’s A, B and C”. But I can see the concern around that as well.

The main detector at the moment is looking at the contributors in their commits. But you’re right, it will require some more detection.
