schestowitz_bedI remained silent about the whole Focal relicensing troubles for now. There was a lot of drama between the app being GPL, and the fact Cyanogen Inc wanted to use it, which drove some frustration between me, some CM contributors, and CM leaders. As a result, to avoid any problem, Focal has been removed from CyanogenMod. I think you deserve explanations and “behind the scenes” view on how all of this happened, and to know itâ€Oct 04 19:10
schestowitz_beds not just a last-minute decision or ragequit.Oct 04 19:10
schestowitz_bedThis is the true, fully-featured story of the “Focal drama”. It's not a rant about how Cyanogen Inc is bad or anything (and it can be a good thing, with a few conditions, see at the end of the post), but just an insight on how this all happened, and how some people were and are feeling.

MinceRbut is it made of genuine mole skin?Oct 04 19:22

schestowitz_bed"By perusing the paleo-anthropolgy literature one finds that we had ethics before we had sophisticated culture, maybe even before we had complex language. It's built into what we are; a weak, tailless, fangless, clawless mammal that has to cooperate to survive in nature."Oct 04 20:13
