I see.

I think in the end the consequences of a relicensing/rug pull are similar to the consequences of the team around a product just ceasing to develop it: the code that was contributed before the decision is available for someone else to take on, but the likelihood is that, with that core source of effort and motivation gone, the project, or at least its open source part, will die. So I guess I don’t really care.

I also don’t see CLAs as particularly indicative of that happening either, since they’re very useful to be able to change between open source licenses. If you don’t have one, that is essentially impossible, which can be a very serious situation. The biggest project I work on relicensed (to AGPL, because it’s a webapp and so the GPL we had it on before essentially had no bite) and it was only possible because we were still in touch with virtually every contributor and know them personally. If the project were even a little bigger we’d have been stuck. (We still don’t have a CLA…)

Yech. Seems like this should be a feature of the OS.

What are you worried about with the CLA? You can make contributions without signing the CLA (in a fork), so it really doesn’t give them much.

What? The CLA clause is irrelevant. You can make modifications to Fluxer or any AGPL project without signing a CLA (just make them in a fork that adheres to the AGPL).

Lol that’s about 15 years coming. Audacity still seems to have a 50% chance of fucking up sound completely until a reboot/restart of pipewire

HID support? We browsing the web with a game controller now?
