This is such a cheap move by Logback, which comes from the former lead developer of Log4j 1.
I used to like it for its technical merits: it's really much better than Log4j 1. But its development has stagnated, and it doesn't offer anything over Log4j2 nowadays. Furthermore, it's not an Apache project, it doesn't even use the Apache License, but LGPL.

- lolinder 5y agoI don't think it's them being cheap, I think they're reacting to a flood of questions. My very first question when I saw this was if logback was impacted. As soon as I found OP's comment, I could relax and eat breakfast.
