I do like releasing everything I develop as FOSS, but we all agree that something like this can happen when we do, even though most of us (me included) find it at least distasteful. Unfortunately this is what happens when any space gets super-competitive, then some people stop caring about spirits and anything else that's impossible to police in a meaningful way. JS is one of the, if not the, most popular programming language in use and it's incredibly accessible. It'd be (and I say this in the most polite and constructive way I could think of) silly to expect that stuff like this won't happen and that there won't be any group of people even cheering this kind of behavior. We all seemingly live in bubbles, at some point we have to realize that we have the whole world in front of us in this crazy place called internet. Well, wasn't that the idea behind the "Eternal September"[0]? It'll not get better unless the whole world gets better.
