He is employed by RedHat, so they're implicitly making the decision his working style is worth it.
But this is an example of open source at work -- people forked GLIBC due to, in part, dissatisfaction with Depper's (or Redhat's) working style and priorities.
- viraptor 17y agoIsn't that fork essentially a logical solution? If RedHat continues to pay Drepper for his work, he will still develop/maintain glibc. Meanwhile every valuable patch can be ported to eglibc (provided the licenses are compatible). It's a win-win scenario... community gains something and Drepper can still do what he does best in his sandbox.
