What you give up either way

Access to LensCal's claimed training dataset and labelled food images
Production-grade, heavily tuned computer-vision model and its accuracy
Polished mobile UX and App Store / Play Store distribution polish
Any proprietary nutritional mapping and edge-case rules embodied in LensCal

An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches LensCal, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
