    Hope for the best, plan for the worst

    Yea the NDA could be benign. Too bad the whole thing is fucking designed to look that way when it’s not.

    I’m planning for him to release the next mastodon release under a different license, one far more favorable to Shitbook

        Why the hell do you think this? Or push it?

        you seem to know nothing about what you’re talking about

        Have you even committed code to an open source project? Maintainers do not automatically get a say, I can’t submit a PR and block this, and code has Owners as well, who can override the maintainers at any time

        Corporations count on as much when they get the owner to sell out, and force the maintainers to setup a fork and lose a fuckton of momentum

          @RandoCalrandian l@Spellbind0127 because thats the law you can’t just change the license of code that other have contributed to just because you own the repository doesn’t make it so you own the legal rights to all the code. (Your an idiot if you say otherwise. )

            lol, you clearly don’t know law

            They can release the next version under whatever license they want, because they own the code

            Happens all the time
