he suggested it, Calle said to not snipe it and he would get it. Melvin proceeded to snipe it (which in fairness he does have every right to do), but then to withhold it from the project ๐Ÿคก๐Ÿคฃ didn't seem to admit to sniping it in the group chat (from what I've seen) ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ didn't seem willing to allow the project to use it ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ doesn't seem like something that progresses the FOSS ethos, or more broadly community in general. it seems like he sniped it intentionally. he has every right to do this, and I've the right to think it's extremely childish, selfish, and a shameful shitty thing to do. I'm always open to having my mind changed though.

The FOSS ethos is stupid. If I had the ability to destroy people's access to an idea by never having created it in the first place, then nobody has the right to complain when I destroy their access to it in another, more noticable way. Like claiming a domain or paywalling a piece of software. That's why I hope DRM wins in the end. The right to control an idea always belongs to the actor the idea depends on.
