My non-expert take on this:
Don't care. Competition is not damage.
Prove it.
The plug-ins never agreed to your ToS. Better sue your customers instead.
Hijacking the comment to say: Fork the shit out of this repo immediately. Fuck Haier.
Fork it on a different platform - GitLab or something like it - we really should diversify our code repos. Microsoft has too much power with GitHub
I’m sure it exists outside the sphere of my knowledge, but this saga made me wonder if there’s some sort of Git/Bay-type site for software developed in the public interest, but is otherwise belligerent to corporate pressure.
this is an option for people who are looking for alternatives.
Move that shit to Gitlab and have some of it saved offline for good measure.
Make it like the Barbara Streisand effect but for a FOSS project lol.
I'll fork it on my forgejo instance
Yeah they have no legal basis for their ridiculous claims and demands. This company is just full of shit.
It is likely costing them more from whatever cloud service their platform is hosted on.
But, that's on them for not putting locks on their api.
