My main issue is that I would rather not use Facebook products, and I would rather we don't create standards which rely on Facebook products.
The FOSS funding issue I more of a side-point which I didn't even bring up, but I don't see "get hired by Facebook if you want to work on FOSS" to be a healthy solution to the FOSS funding problem, we need a way to ensure funding for FOSS developers who don't work for Facebook. But that's not strictly related to the zstd thing specifically.
- eropple 4y agoCalling a GPL-licensed piece of software with nontrivial public contribution "a Facebook product" is begging the question.
- mort96 4y agoHow is it begging the question? Is it the word "product" you're unhappy with? I can call it a Facebook project instead if you prefer, it doesn't change the substance of anything I've written. The problem I have is with the "Facebook" part.
