Sure, but that’s the sort of things that is hashed out by lawyers in a private meeting room. Not in the GitHub’s public issue tracker. A simple “Report doesn’t meet criteria” would’ve sufficed. The rant is out of place and it makes him seem hostile.
There are pro-bono FOSS lawyers. There are foundations that help with these things. There are lots of free legal resources made available. If it hurts him so much, then he should just archive and make the repo private, then re-release under a private license, or maybe step back from maintaining a public repo. No piece of software is worth mental health and peace of mind. Nobody is forcing him to participate. I mean, fuck private companies that suck the life out of open source projects. But suffering abuse is never an excuse to dish out abuse. And when it comes to the public sphere, it is a rant in the end. Composure is important in the eye of the public. No one will want to be sympathetic with someone who lashes out in public. It is only hurting him, not the person who received the reply.
i’m actually posting this cause he is actually going to stop maintaining, exactly because of the reasons you listed. it’s sad cause he is a pretty chill dude
No, I I’m responding to you characterizing this as a poor hobbyist developer who is tired and going to stop maintaining their hobby project, none of which appears to be the case.
This is a corpo flaming a corpo. This developer left Canonical to work here.
You really should’ve gotten permission from him to post this. You’re all over this thread basically laughing with emojis at his disgrace. It’s a couple of small developers doing home automation stuff. They don’t need this kind of diss. You should delete this post, and if you really want to say something about open source culture, maybe get permission and actually put effort into anonymizing the image.
i’m laughing at the reply. i don’t think it’s a disgrace. i think it’s a good example of what happens when bloodsucking corpos take it too far. they not only squeeze their employees but force people working on an open source project to work for them, for free as well.

What lawyers 😂 it’s a small repo of a pretty handy tool.
rant, i’m imagining, comes from a place of years of abuse the poor guy suffered
What lawyers?
Nymea is a commercial company too. This isn’t someone’s hobby project.

Why would the Senior Software Engineer at nymea quit his paid position?
i don’t know why, why would you ask me that? your comments are increasingly hostile. i’m following a repo, i saw a comment, i find it funny.
sherlock here, jeez.

gotta be honest with you, i don’t know what the situation is. i’ve been following the project for a long long time, but dunno their inner workings
