> That's speculative on his part (noone has opened any issues with him, neither coming from nixos nor from any other repackaging).

Which is the whole point of acting on it before it happens...

It's crazy the amount of entitlement I see toward open-source developers. You don't like his stance, then fork it and support it yourself. You are already lucky to have a good base to work on, you shouldn't even be entitled to that!

They explicitly offered to do that, and also suggested 3 other solutions to address his concern, and he shot all suggestions down with what amounted to "I already told you what I want: Don't repackage my code."

The only entitlement form the nixos devs has been using a right which Frenck explicitly chose to provide when licensing his software.

In the end, the will have to fork it, and probably maintain a fork of HM, since he is relicensing it to disallow repackaging.
