Projects change hands all the time. If someone wants to use a fork, do that. The entitlement here is fucking wild.
Bruh what the fuck are you talking about?
You think that a user being upset when they give an app full filesystem access to their phone, and then having that app be handed over to some shady new owner is entitlement?
Congratulations man, 'skill issue' people like you are why open source software rarely takes off. No one will use or trust any open source software if this happens. This just pushes people to use tech giants like Google and Microsoft because they're big and stable and not about to change owners.
Don't fucking publish your software for people to download if you're going to pull the rug out from under them. Keep it on your local machine and jerk off to it if you don't care about others using it.
Don't businesses transfer to shady owners all the time? The longer time goes on, the older these developers get, the more we will have projects either transfer, die out, or someone fork.
