Like with most lisence concerns the avg idiot has no fucking idea what they are talking about and just think things are bad because they were told they were bad.
Yer entirely correct, as far as consumer and users are concerned it's a fat fucking nothing burger.
And frankly while this is Lemmy and everyone here loves open source. In the real world the total of actual normal users that a community program like this is targeted at.
A grand total of fuck and all actually care. A closed source app is just as good as a open source one.
The onky thing that matters is management. And a open source app can be managed and ran like total dog shit just as much as a closed source one. Lisence also literally doesn't fucking matter one bit.
Unless someone's willing to step up fork the project and maintain it entirely on their own and build a whole new team.
Then it literally doesn't fucking matter. The only thing that matters is there's an option to fork. That's literally it. Everything is might as well be people pissing in the wind and complaining about the taste.
