VISCOSITY VPN PNG CODE
We have contributed to open-source projects and initiatives we feel are beneficial, both via source code contributions (which includes OpenVPN), financial donations (which includes the TunTap project), and advice/discussion (a large assortment). It is also incorrect to say that we "do not contribute back to the project through commits nor financially". For those interested please see the comment linked above for more information. Indeed, any Viscosity user is welcome to email us for GPL covered source-code, as evidenced in Viscosity's EULA.
As anyone familiar with the open-source OpenVPN project knows, OpenVPN is licensed under the GPL, which mandates that original source code, and the source code for any changes, be made available.
It is incorrect to say that "closed source fork of an open source project". Piggy-backing off my comment above, I've included some points below to help address some misleading comments in this thread: I also recommend checking out an old Reddit comment of mine which answers a similar question and goes into some more depth regarding Viscosity, OpenVPN, and open-source: I'm sure you'll love Viscosity, as we've poured heaps of effort into making Viscosity as powerful and trouble-free as possible, but again, I encourage you to give it a try for yourself. Viscosity can be freely used for 30-days, at which point you can register it if you like it or simply delete it if you prefer something else. I encourage anyone reading this looking for an OpenVPN client to try out all of the above clients. Popular OpenVPN clients include the OpenVPN Community GUI (Windows only, and considered the only "official" client), Tunnelblick (Mac only), the OpenVPN Connect Client (Mac & Win), and of course Viscosity (Mac & Win). Because of this a comparison of "Viscosity or OpenVPN" doesn't exactly make sense :) For those unfamiliar, by "OpenVPN" in this case the OP means another VPN client that supports OpenVPN. OpenVPN is a type of VPN protocol, which Viscosity supports.
Thought I'd jump in and try and offer some insight!
