    I wonder if you typed that with a straight face. If so then you are wildly out of touch with how FOSS and the democratization of FOSS development works.

    You use words like “entitled” as a derogatory term when you clearly don’t understand that yes, the community is entitled because that’s how these FOSS licenses work. And people have every right to be upset when the status quo changes for a project they have also helped develop and helped get popular.

    So either you are trolling, or you are clueless. Either way you should be ignored and this is as much time I’m going to waste writing this comment.

      What exactly did the FOSS community lose right there?

      They can still use the versions that were licensed to them. The forks are right there.

      However, you are not entitled to the dev distributing those versions for you.

        Actually the LGPL legally binds the dev to distributing those versions. So you’re just a troll. I am done replying to you but it has been fun watching you try to justify shit in the name of compensation.

          You’ve been unable to back up a single thing you said in this conversation with proof.

          You had to walk back your accusations towards the dev, and you’re unable to actually point to the passage in the LGPL that supposedly binds the dev.

          All you’re able to do at this point is call me a troll. You’re a parasite in the FOSS community who expects the work of others to be provided to them for free in perpetuity, and it pains you to realize it can be taken away from you.
