It takes a lot of time and a lot of peoples typing data from my understanding. It’s relatively easy for Google to make the glide/Swype type since they have a huge amount of peoples typing data. FUTO on the other hand has been making an open source version for probably 6 months or so no, solely relying on volunteers inputting words on their website.
For those interested in helping make the library better: https://swype.futo.org/ (it probably only works on mobile)

FUTO keyboard is NOT open source. It is source available.
It looks like the FUTO keyboard license allows all of that, the only exception is that you can’t modify it for commercial purposes. Aren’t there a lot of other OSS licenses with that same limitation? How is restricting commercial modifications bad?
Sounds good to me! I know that some people prefer free software for the public good and some are ok with commercial use for attracting corporate investment, like Linux.

Holy crap, never knew about this. Going to be my new mindless activity instead of sudoku for a while!
