That... Feels a bit much. We can agree data collection like this is bad without conspiracy theories like that.

Except they didn't relicence to AGPL initially, they switched to dual licensing under the RSALv2 (a proprietary licence) and SSPLv1 (a non open source, non-free licence). So essentially they made it proprietary, that's what everyone was annoyed about. If they went straight to AGPL I'm sure there would've been some people who were annoyed, but most developers would understand why and I doubt there would have been the valkey fork.
This kind of election interference speculation erodes trust in democracy and is part of what led to the January 6th thing. Not saying that's what you're trying to do, just that it's a precursor to that kind of stuff.
Depends on what you mean by a DE's "look", if you just mean the theme and layout then you can theme something like xfce or lxqt to look similarly modern.
I've not tried it, but you could try cosmic? Or switch to a tiling WM or a scroller like Niri which would be even lighter (with the caveat that it's lighter because it does less stuff for you by default).
I don't mean to be that guy, but if you like your desktop a certain way and want to easily configure it you might want to look into Nix and home-manager, it's difficult to get started but once you have a config that works it lets you set up your whole OS and desktop and lots of apps.
For some reason it's maintained by Apple.
Hasn't been for a few years now, the maintained fork is OpenPrinting CUPS.
That's literally the rhetoric that the Republican party used about the 2020 election that ended with the January 6th riot. Do you honestly think that if there was evidence of voting interference that the democrats wouldn't go to court over it? Or even share the evidence?
The difference with llvm is that nobody is selling a hosted llvm as a service, nobody is making money off llvm without contributing back (directly, I know a bunch of companies use llvm to make a product that makes money).
Redis clearly thinks that using the BSD licence was a mistake. I agree with you, using BSD attracted more people/companies to use it than if they had chosen AGPL, that's the trade-off you make when choosing a copyleft licence.
I think I agree with you on a lot of this, let me know if this is a fair summary of your argument:
Permissive and copyleft licences both have advantages and disadvantages, if a project chooses a permissive licence then that's their choice, and if they later decide to re-license then the project will probably get forked and carry on under the original licence, so as a user you can just switch to the fork and the only thing that will is the name of the package you install.
That seems pretty reasonable to me, let me know if I made any mistakes summarising your point.
The caveat I would add to that is that the project shouldn't complain about freeloaders if they choose a licence that explicitly allows freeloading. They chose a permissive licence for its advantages but they won't accept the consequences that come with that decision.
thanks for using Leebra!
