big words from an anonymous user who has never contributed to foss outside of a whiney bug report or two.

Imagine if Linux developers building the libraries this was built on where as petty.

Hi, I’m a subsystem maintainer for the Drupal project, a security team member, and over the years have helped maintain several of the largest projects in the ecosystem. I’ve also contributed to a number of open source projects over the years and have a lot of experience collaborating with maintainers to get fixes committed going back to early amd64 fixes coming out of testing in the gentoo project before Intel even had a real 64bit platform. I’ve got a pretty good feel for how this works and it’s safe to say FLOSS is kinda my day job.

You got me, I’m impersonating some other neclimdul guy that’s easily Googleable and matches the description I gave. I registered this account two years ago and participated in discussions all this time so I could trick you specifically Hawkeye. You really did call me out. Good one.

Petty is pretty harsh and reading this message I wish I’d paused and chosen a better word.
That said, the way the commit reads, the relicensing, the fact they seem to be upset the aur is locked to the GPL version to comply with the license but also poisoning the build scripts like it’s somehow going to affect the old GPL code. It just does not sound like someone acting in good faith with the open source community they’re clearly building on top of and that does rub me the wrong way.
