as linux has a stronger presence in the enterprise industry, it would seem to mater there
this coc change affects the home, non-commercial users
give it a few years
it will then affect those who runs servers
the CoC affects everything really
>important contributor hates CoC
>works on fork instead
>fork now has important changes and no CoC
>company now has to choose between CoC version and version with important changes
well the coc means nothing if you dont actively contribute to the scene
if you are paranoid, then sure it would
they are actively contributing, just not to that branch
but just wait until people start pulling their code out of the kernel
like look at LibreOffice/OpenOffice
OpenOffice creator was a dick, so they just forked it. Done
okay thats fine
Look at Nexuiz, where the rights holder decided to go commercial. They changed the name and some assets. Done
its not like the entire backend to the os
no, but it's the same process
do bare im mind that not all open source projects arent treated equally
Sure, but they adhere to the same legal standards as long as they follow the same license
or similar
you can mix and match them
its one way or the other
well the ways in which they can be mixed is a little more complicated
unless you got the rights to do so and they sign off on it
Like you couldnt just take Xonotic and go "lol it's paid now", nor can you feasibly change the license to say "Only weebs can contribute and request source" without consulting the other people who contributed
but even if that *does* happen, everything up until 10.fucked edition works fine
or at least as well as it ever did
and you just use that until shit gets sorted
you know what i find very interesting about all of this?
only those that are with a rolling release is currently affected by this
semi-rolling arent going to be affected for at least 6 months from now
then you got the ubuntu way of rolling out updates which if you are a lts user, it can take upmost of 2 years before you see that catastrophic affect
anyways im not too worried about it now but im quite concerned about our future
I think if people want a solution to this problem it wouldnt be hard for them to produce one
unless like.. 100% of contributors want the CoC and all other associated changes
not all of them would want it
yes we do not need this bs in developement
but you shouldnt be ejected just because they dont like who you are
or how you got there
sure, and it's unfortunate that a split has had to happen
but it wouldnt be the first time, and it wouldnt be the dumbest reason lol
