It's crazy the amount of entitlement I see toward open-source developers. You don't like his stance, then fork it and support it yourself. You are already lucky to have a good base to work on, you shouldn't even be entitled to that!

The only entitlement form the nixos devs has been using a right which Frenck explicitly chose to provide when licensing his software. In the end, the will have to fork it, and probably maintain a fork of HM, since he is relicensing it to disallow repackaging.
