They refuse to give out the whole source code, the license is not clear. So it can not be considered as open source.

The licence is extremely clear, just not linked on PRISM Break (yet). As it says in the source, it is MIT licensed. I am not against removing the project as people are unable to host it themselves, but that is all, the code is fully open-source licensed and perusable.

I encourage this discussion, see where people think we should draw the line.

(Funny thing is, I was thinking about ProtectedText last week and have actually started on a PHP back-end for people who want to host it themselves.)

Hi @Zegnat
It is sad they don't provide the source code from the server so that we could host it ourself.

(Funny thing is, I was thinking about ProtectedText last week and have actually started on a PHP back-end for people who want to host it themselves.)

If you are working on a PHP back-end, I would be interested to host it as well.

Instead of using ProtectedText, I am using ZeroBin which I am hosting on my own VPS. Would it be a good program to be added in "Productivity"?
It is a minimalist, opensource online pastebin/discussion board where the server has zero knowledge of hosted data. Data is encrypted/decrypted in the browser using 256 bits AES.

Github link: https://github.com/sebsauvage/ZeroBin

And it has been audited by an security researcher.

To know more about this great service, you can follow the zerobin tag on his shaarli here (but it's in French).

Okay, sorry for my unknowledge in that parts. I would also would really appreciate the possibility of hosting it on my own.
