    And then somehow: Open source = Siding against Palestine.

    This is the most ridiculous part, if they ever try to enforce the license against someone the definition of evil is going to be decided by a court. In that context a humanitarian organization using your software to help Palestinians is more likely to be condemned than a military contractor that kills Palestinians.







  • Nobody is asking ‘software’ companies to support software they didn’t write.

    We are asking hardware companies to support their hardware and not use different software as an excuse not to replace faulty hardware.

    They can reflash their own software to test if needed.

    Of course hardware vendors could be legally mandated to adhere to standards to make things easier.
