i don't think the fork maintainers intend to do active development. i assume they intend to stay up-to-date with upstream, with only enough modifications to remove the tracking code. as for legitimacy, there really is no question that the fork is within the rights of the license.
- nescioquid 5y agoWould the fork, accepting changes from upstream, also accept changes that originated from telemetry information? I can imagine a principled stand which says the fork would not commit any changes driven or informed by telemetry data, though it is not clear how that could be done. Failing that, it sounds more like "don't track me, but I'm happy to benefit from those who are" (which is effectively the same situation as opting-out of the telemetry).
