The repository for the previously private submodule is still called Floorp-private-components, though it's public.

https://blog.ablaze.one/4125/2024-03-11/ is a maintainer's official response to... Reddit, which crossposted me apparently. Hooray!

"Boohoo, people used my publicly available source to do their own thing and now I'm mad and want to get paid".

That's the gist of the article. Dev got butthurt that his project didn't take off and blames "forking".

Where the heck did you get "I want to get paid"?

[-] pop@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

They didn't but open source enthusiasts hate it when developers even try to imply not wanting their contributions used without attribution, it's basically killing puppies in this community.

They'll only ever use it to make money themselves without anything in return just like the corporations who do the same but then they'll call themselves morally principled for reasons.

que a moron trying to explain why opensource developers should bend to their will about what "opensource" should be for them.

Eh, Im not even an open-source enthusiast. I just have low tolerance for people so full of themselves.
