Give me a break. I'm tired of this type of drama and FUD coming up through sensationalized posts like this. It's open source -- there's no hostage situation.

I stopped reading at that whiney BS.

Matt is looking to collect anonymized data so that he knows how his product is being used and how it can be improved -- which must be a tough situation, considering most SaaS companies can throw whatever trackers they want up into their apps and be done with it -- on-prem software is a little different when it comes to usage statistics, etc., and I think this is acceptable.

You can grep this to see all of the data they're collecting,

    go telemetry.

You can easily opt-out.

The only issue I have is that I don't see any mention about the telemtry collection or how to opt out on their homepage or github readme...unless these features aren't actually out yet and I misunderstood everything

It isn't out yet, mholt announced the plans for the next version and asked for feedback about it.
