Sad to read, but not at all surprising. I remember how much damage control Kevin was doing back when the sale to Branch happened.
I hope he has learned something about trusting the word and contracts from entities like Branch from the whole thing.
If it’s in the contract then he could do it on his own, without any help or permission from the company, couldn’t he?
He could, but he likely doesn’t have the financial backing or community support to pull it off.
What financial backing, if the contract said it then any incoming lawsuit would be thrown out
You have to pay lawyers to litigate.
And the contract said it was to be open sourced, which has not happened, so litigation must now happen to enforce it.
