After skimming the thread, I'm tempted to say: tell jwz "tough luck" and keep xscreensaver, with the message patched out, just out of spite. After all, he put it under a permissive license, so he should not be surprised that people actually use that license to do whatever they want.

- ashitlerferad 11y agoRespecting his request would mean removing xscreensaver which would be bad for users.
- sp332 11y agoI don't see why a package maintainer would patch out the warning instead of just packaging the new version. But if it comes to that, it's better for the users to get xscreensaver from a more reliable source than that maintainer.
