> Heck, IBM could probably put together their own internal release of mitmproxy today if they cared that much.

They could, and so could I, and most people here if they wanted to. That doesn't mean it's an unreasonable question to ask. If anything it's exactly the sort of question you would ask if you planned to make your own release, so you know if it's going to be worth the effort.

Agreed. See my first sentence:

> The initial question was polite and reasonable, as was @mhils's response.

I think you’re right; the conversation was civil until the requestor started accusing the maintainer of extortion.

Some people in this thread didn’t read that far, and now seem to be to twisting reality to defend their judgement.
