    You’ve been unable to back up a single thing you said in this conversation with proof.

    You had to walk back your accusations towards the dev, and you’re unable to actually point to the passage in the LGPL that supposedly binds the dev.

    All you’re able to do at this point is call me a troll. You’re a parasite in the FOSS community who expects the work of others to be provided to them for free in perpetuity, and it pains you to realize it can be taken away from you.




  • they licensed it as LGPL just to get their product popular and then said “I got the eyeballs I wanted, time to milk this!”

    Show us where the dev said exactly that.

    we are entitled to our ideology around FLOSS.

    You are not entitled to anything. The dev simply released their work with a license that allows others to use it freely. Nothing more, nothing less.

    So they just wanted people to test their product and market them for free?

    Again, show us where they vocalized exactly that.

    What about the compensation for people who beta-tested this product for free and recommended them to others?

    What compensation were they expecting?

    That just means they were looking for free marketing and eyeballs.

    So far you’ve done nothing but put a whole bunch of malicious words into this developer’s mouth.

    The amount of people who feel like they’re entitled to the previous code and are calling the license change scummy make me sick.

    This developer put their own free time into this project, they made sure to not accept anyone else’s code, and they understandably felt they deserve to be paid for their time. Whether this was a smart move is another matter entirely.

    The one case where I can understand being upset is if you donated shortly before this happened. But otherwise, you should really reflect on how you’re giving back to the people who make the tools you feel oh so entitled to.
