That’s bullshit.
Especially without knowing the terms of the NDA. It could just be that they can’t talk about Metas App Specifics, and/or that the NDA is limited in duration, so they may be able to talk about everything once the App is out.
Yes, it could be what you are talking about, a complete gag order, but “NDA” as a term is way to broad to say that for sure.
It just says that he currently values knowing more about Metas plans higher than being able to tell us about Metas plans.
I mean, depending on the timeline, one could check if there’s any interesting PRs by him, that may infer something about Metas plans.
you seem to know nothing about what you’re talking about
Have you even committed code to an open source project? Maintainers do not automatically get a say, I can’t submit a PR and block this, and code has Owners as well, who can override the maintainers at any time
Corporations count on as much when they get the owner to sell out, and force the maintainers to setup a fork and lose a fuckton of momentum
@RandoCalrandian l@Spellbind0127 because thats the law you can’t just change the license of code that other have contributed to just because you own the repository doesn’t make it so you own the legal rights to all the code. (Your an idiot if you say otherwise. )

Hope for the best, plan for the worst
Yea the NDA could be benign. Too bad the whole thing is fucking designed to look that way when it’s not.
I’m planning for him to release the next mastodon release under a different license, one far more favorable to Shitbook

Why the hell do you think this? Or push it?

lol, you clearly don’t know law
They can release the next version under whatever license they want, because they own the code
Happens all the time
