    It’s not the license. It’s the opt-in telemetry. I’m not sure if this is prepackaged binary or not. Either way, that’s why people switched

      I absolutely understand not liking opt-out telemetry. Do people generally not like opt-in telemetry? Is this really why the community shifted to a different project?

        Given that they were planning to implement Yandex telemetry, I’m guessing the answer is yes. Plus they decided to age “limit” to 13+ to support these changes.
