- phoronixrly 1y agoIs Rubygems a company? My mind cannot comprehend why are people conflating not-for-profit open-source projects with for-profit companies... If Rubygems was a company, they'd have a trademark, they'd have patents, they'd have lawyers to protect the money they were making from their brand and product. But we are speaking about not-for-profit open-source projects, not for for-profit corporations!
- dismalaf 1y agoRuby Central is a company that manages rubygems.org and rubygems. The maintainers who were locked out were being paid by Ruby Central while fundraising for their startup creating a competitor. Doesn't it seem like a bit of a security risk to you?

- dismalaf 1y agoHow about now?
