Why this verdict?

Belgian open source

An open-source product created or substantially maintained from Belgium.

Joost De Cock’s GitHub profile gives his location as Antwerp and calls him the benevolent dictator of FreeSewing; the FreeSewing site introduces him as its founder and maintainer, and the project’s MIT-licensed monorepo on Codeberg had a release in September 2026.
