For context, jamebuilds is the maintainer or contributor of many javascript libraries like Lerna, Babel, and Yarn. He recently tweeted [1] that he would go to war with Palantir for collaboration with ICE. He opened several issues with Palantir's blueprint which uses Lerna [2]. He then opened a PR to change Lerna's license with the MIT license (with persional exceptions) [3] where it was merged after the original author agreed since jamebuilds is one of the primary maintainers now. Palantir did respond in one of the issues [4] where they clarified they work with HSI and would be open to meeting in person but it did not seem to change jamebuild's opinion.

- pnevares 8y agoUseful background, thank you. Am I alone in thinking the response from Palantir looks like more feedback than one would have expected from the average corp? It makes jamiebuilds' reply seem more provocative than it otherwise would have, but I praise their conviction to their morals. Edit for vague closing sentence: I'm praising jamiebuilds' moral conviction.
