Reminder that the Windows devs copied AppGet, even spoke with the dev of it, but refused to hire them. Reminder that just because something is legal with regards to FLOSS tools, it doesn't mean it is ethical. It's stories like this that I think people need to think long and hard about when making FLOSS stuff and whether you want to use a permissive license. A copy left license wouldn't have necessarily prevented this, but this is the competition. They don't play nice.

    i used to prefer MIT and Apache licensing. now i feel very strongly that copyleft is the way. too many rugpulls all at once in the last 2 years.
