The post says AUR builds are being blocked and soon Linux support will be dropped entirely.

Sucks that people are so shitty about problems that crop up in FOSS. Just be nice about things and it wouldn't be a problem, the developer owes you nothing.

And you can't even fork it

Dev doesn't allow packages of his open source project, people keep creating packages, dev stops support for the OS entirely.

Homie doesnt let you fork the shit to maintain it yourself. He made the problem.

Sure you can. Absolutely nothing actually prevents it.

Just do it anyways, fuck what he wants.

License doesn't allow you to do it

Stenzek seems to have a history of being the problem... I don't know if their words should be taken at face value, or that they're arguing in good faith at all

The licence is not FOSS its its creative commons no derivatives meaning no forks its a source available licence

"Not allowed" and "Can't" are two VERY different things.

Doesn't change how people treat developers. I gather this guy isn't that great, but people should just move elsewhere instead of being hostile.

Forking against the license wouldn't solve the problem of not being included in distributions though. No sane distribution would include the fork.

Again, look at how distros handled DeCSS back when that was an issue. There were just "unofficial" 3rd party repos hosted in places that didn't care about US crypto laws.

wrote last edited by [email protected]jwz & Igara Studio S.A. had the exact same issue with distros maintainers, that they were forced to disallow QA testing and logging for distro related situations that really isn't their focus.
Distro makers need to dogfood their own packages, their own support system, and their testing, separate of the original software maker.
Analogy for commoners:
This is like asking a bidet seat maker to fix your entire toilet/bathroom.
Like no, get plumbers, workers, and a designer to make your dream toilet. Leave the seat maker alone.::: spoiler spoiler
You still got to clean the toilet every week.
Seat makers are not janitors.

Crypto laws aren't copyright. Protesting an unjust law via civil disobedience is entirely different from hypocritically breaking a law you yourself rely on just because you wanna.

:::My take on a better analogy:
The bidet maker is pissed because people complain to him that their bidet is leaking or has cracks. He's annoyed at a distribution/installation company because they fumbled, so he'll handle installation himself but only to the houses he approves.
Oh, and the bidets are free and nobody gets paid a cent.
