- lofaszvanitt 11mo agowhy is that a problem
- khamidou 11mo agoSeems like Kyber is dual-licensed AGPL and proprietary, seems like a pretty standard way to fund an open source project.
- leoh 11mo agoYeah except for the fact that meaningfully zero of the source has been released
- goku12 11mo agoThat's not what a sell out means in this context. He refused offers in millions of dollars to sell VLC to possibly shady parties, thereby keeping it safe for people like us. Kyber on the other hand, is a dual licensed AGPL - commercial software. That's an entirely acceptable and respected practice in the FOSS community. That doesn't make him a sell out.
- leoh 11mo agoYou are being a jerk. I don’t know what year you were born but the phrase “sell out” in the 90s would align perfectly with what I’m talking about here. I think he’s a sellout because he’s quite a jerk and going around making money on Khyber without properly releasing the source code per GPL. So in my view he IS a sellout. You’re entitled to your view but don’t go around telling me or others they’re wrong, thank you.
- goku12 11mo agoYou're entitled to your view to call everyone a jerk? Perhaps it's time for you to realize that you're the only jerk here.
- leoh 11mo agoWhat if you’re the only jerk here, actually? https://preview.redd.it/bekphnqftcb41.jpg?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=8f9410508e9179cbca41927644de18fa9e4c294c https://preview.redd.it/bekphnqftcb41.jpg?width=1080&crop=sm... Are you Jean-Baptiste or something ? lol
