Nope. Why is it normal to take a few weeks to release the source? If it's good enough to release its good enough o publish openly.
This government has ample form. If you want my recommendation you need to open it up.
- rstuart4133 6y agoFirstly, it is not normal in the open source world. Hell, it's not even normal open source projects owned large companies that are the foundation for a major product - like Android. Secondly, as the story points out, it is a fork of an open source app that is already on github. It's not like the infrastructure for it isn't already set up - they just had to do a git clone, and then use standard CI techniques Maybe the OP isn't familiar with the modern software engineering techniques we now use to improve quality.
- jamesjansson 6y agoIf the source code is ALREADY released, what is the harm in immediately releasing the fork? Immediate public release of forks IS common practice.
- barbs 6y agoEspecially since the upstream project appears to be GPL-licensed. Sure, they could have contacted the original developer and obtained a different license, but why would they do that? As far as we can tell, it looks like a breach of the license.
