the "open letter" against Eugen Rochko is a load of garbage and he doesn't owe anyone an absolute thing. He created the software, he's the BDFL*, and can do whatever he wants with it now.
My thought is there's nothing stopping this letter's author from developing either a fork or their own fedi/AP compliant software.
