Well, as stated on reddit already, my opinion is that closed source apps are not awesome.
What is the point in self-hosting applications when you can't trust them? They could harm the security and integrity of the whole server system.
@Kickball commented on GitHub (Jun 7, 2015):
Although security is a large part of the reasoning behind self hosting I don't believe that it is always the reason for it.
For example even though Plex is a closed source application it is used a fair bit in homelabs and I would say it was even designed for homelabs/selfhosted environments.
What I'm going to do is create a tag or label which will be used to identify the closed source applications in the list, as I don't believe that we should completely disregard them rather, we should just be more cautious of using them.

Take a look at commit 39.

I would recommend using a smaller version of the logo, maybe without the text below as the icon is explained on top.
Example with 25px instead of 50px
@Kickball commented on GitHub (Jun 9, 2015):
We're going to be using this once from now on:
@n1trux commented on GitHub (Jun 9, 2015):
could we do it in 16px? Then it would be as high as the font-size...
@n1trux commented on GitHub (Jun 11, 2015):
I got another idea: What about the icon ⊘ (circled slash) or © (copyright sign) behind the app name? So it looks like this:
I'd really like the icon to be scalable and directly behind the app name so you can easily distinguish free from proprietary apps. What do you think, @Kovah and @Kickball?
@Kovah commented on GitHub (Jun 11, 2015):
@n1trux 👍
@Kickball commented on GitHub (Jun 11, 2015):
Alright, I see where you're coming from.
I'm happy to start using the slashed circle instead of the previous icon.
I think this will be the final icon.
