But major contributors asked to have their additions pulled from all non FOSS releases and it was reverted

Like I said they miscalculated. they'll adjust the list to something more people can agree on. They're seeing how much of the branch they can saw off.

FOSS folks are dogmatic

They won't let you fuck with the license and continue to contribute

It's either FOSS or they bail

They will let their own project fail before they budge on that

But they will apparently prevent you from contributing if you don't "pledge to making participation in our project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation."

Wrongthink apparently makes your code not work.

You can't prevent any contributions ultimately because you can just fork shit

Why should I have to virtue signal in order to do free coding labor for you?

Get your free labor elsewhere then.

lol

LibreOffice happened because people didn't like where OpenOffice was going and hated the guy in charge of it

you cant possibly code if you dont respect blah blah blah

Entire distros and OS' happen over personal disputes lol

that they do

Or someone just being a dick with the IP

What happens when the CoC is baked into the license?

looking at you redhad

Then it's not FOSS and you fork from before that point

Bigots fork your project and get hit with a lawsuit.

EZ

>ingsoc v4.1
>shitposters fork 4.0
Wow
Such a loss

its crazy to think that microsoft could become the closest thing to an open platform

Wot

if linux gets closed off and changed

is all i meant

It literally cant

ya i know

but for the bulk of people they will stick to the main builds

All the corporate support then goes to the ingsoc fork and shitposters are back to a dozen nerds doing shit in their free time. Sure it might still exist but progress grinds to a halt and you lose most of your software library because it's not being updated anymore.

so for those people it will be closed off

>a dozen nerds doing shit in their free time
You mean the basis for all of this

^^

Look, back before linux took off it was virtually unusable. The difference in usability between Red Hat 5.2 and Windows 2000 was like night and day.

Also Linux is not a normie kernel. People have fights over systemd and vim/emacs

@Atkins isnt wrong there

If the license stopped being FOSS on later releases you'd lose a ton of support

Who are the corporations going to back? The SJWs or the shitlords?

yep

Neither
