Completely agree, they were hit by an angry mob of unthankful people.
I think most in the mob are aware that their reaction is overblown. The list of OSS licenses is usually buried deep inside the docs and few ever read it. Luca made themselves vulnerable by opening up their code and the mob is using this weakness to attack them.
It's really about not wanting this app to succeed, because they are making good money and because there are valid privacy concerns. Maybe Luca should not be widely used, but then the politicians who bought it are at fault, not the developers. Also nobody is forced to install it.
Then there's the complaint about Luca's license. They open up their codebase and people complain that the license is not free enough? Mind blown, try that with any large company and see how far you get. Microsoft, give me your Office source code, or... I'll write an angry tweet!
