I do not respect this project. "We are stealing and adding no value" is not a good pitch, borders on anti open source, and just fundamentally why would anyone support you or choose you over the original(s).


Releasing an open source product that improves on alternatives doesn't sound like ”stealing” or ”adding no value" to me.

They're giving away something valuable, same as the people whose work they're building on top of.


The linked article literally starts by calling themselves an anti innovation company and declaring they do not intend to improve on it (at least not in innovative ways)


That stance alone will keep me far away from it.
