I can’t tell if you disagree with the rest of my comment or didn’t bother to read it…
That’s literally not the definition of proprietary.
You download proprietary software when you navigate to (nearly) every webpage. Just because a website like HN sends you (possibly unobfuscated) HTML, CSS, and JS over the wire in plain-text does not mean those files are not proprietary. Those files are covered by copyright in the U.S.
Access to the source code is not sufficient for that source code to be FOSS.
You also failed to acknowledge leaked source code and bytecode decompilation, which were a substantial portion of my comment.
