- majkinetor 6y agoAnybody can act like that. That is called freedom and is not limited to physical people but to corps as well. You can choose to avoid them, to publish against them, to influence others, to fork it, etc. That is your freedom. Why are we even talking about this ? Nobody owes you anything and vice-versa.
- turbinerneiter 6y agoI mean, we are doing exactly what you just said: they are doing what they want, as is their right, I find it what they are doing to be dishonest and call them out on it. Not that they will care. But in the end, the consequences of their actions is that people who dislike them will talk bad about them. The have the right to be two-faced about their open source policy, I have the right to speak about how I think it's bad to do so.
