It’s not, they’re not open sourcing their driver. They’ve made an open source driver.

Building an open source project is not just a technical challenge. It’s a social one as well, and politics are a big factor in that.

I think you can set quotas, which could be 0. I have to say it’s been a while since I dove into the settings though.

Mobile Device Management software to keep track of what’s installed on devices (probably won’t work with DOS)

I personally use a password manager to keep track of software keys, but realistically you should probably look for a way to get licenses that doesn’t involve typing a key everywhere.

That would work if the only problem they wanted to solve was an outdated tech stack for X. But there are other problems that wayland addresses too, like: how to scale multiple monitors nicely, is it a good idea to give all other apps the keystrokes that you do in the one in focus (and probably a lot more)

Even paid it might be hard to find maintainers with knowledge of the code

As a Homebrew maintainer, what is there to red flag about a project providing tarballs of their source?

We would have to red flag pretty much every project that uses autoconf (since those usually provide a tarball where the user doesn’t have to run autoreconf)

Ah, you’re right. I wasn’t aware they had release tars on GitHub as well

No, it was snuck into the website download of the source code. If you got it from GitHub it was fine, if you got it from their website you got pwnd

Homebrew rolled back the release after finding out

Couple of years since I switched and I rarely run into any issues with my all-AMD build

Linux is a big part of it, but not all of Linux. Linux also isn’t part of the GNU project that the OP talks about.

Isn’t Gentoo the one for that title?

That’s not what the GDPR is for though.

If it collects user data it is not. If it collects “1 person downloaded an update” it’s perfectly fine
