As visible upthread, I think starting w/ the block in code is a bad move, and am sad that reaching out to the maintainer of alpine-glibc seems like an afterthought.

That said, there is not a universal mandate for how an open source project “must behave”, other than that the terms of the license (which the authors of the code are able to choose). There isn’t a single cohesive “entire fucking point” of open source. The things proposed in the blog post are permissible under the license, are able to be bypassed by the user, and are not some earthshattering affront to human decency.

We should be able to disagree about the best course of action without falling into incendiary accusations.
