Having various people threatening patent/legal enforcement is another issue. One may believe porting to another platform like ARM64 with a patch would be clear, but people often confuse GPL means free as in free beer... it isn't... and some get extremely aggressive/possessive over mundane issues. I go by the lawyers consensus, not some opinion on the internet from some unknown region of the world. Note, the user-base doesn't care, they only want a program to work on their platform. Some upstream publishers on the other hand can be disrespectful at times, as some can assume the worst... it usually has nothing to do with the FOSS foundations themselves. Thanks for your opinion though, it is good to see people still interested in community projects. Happy computing, =)
