The simple truth is, that projects are forked when the needs of the original application aren't meeting the needs of another group of people.
In the case it's the threat of patents. Forking is good. It gives a wake up call the the original devs and gives us users more choice !!!

The Mono proponents complain about licence compatibility. Gnote is GPLv3 (or later).

Yes. Mono, a copy of Microsoft's .NET, does more harm than good.

If you fuckers would waste less time with trolling the internet but actually start to create something perhaps then you could decide what language is used to program it. Till then just stfu, thanks.

I am here writing an analysis. How is that "trolling"?
"The key change in this year’s Actuarial Study, due to cascading the new “risk appetite” from the financial study, is a significant increase of the total pension contribution rate of 5.7 percentage points, up to a total of 37.8%. This is driven by an unprecedented decrease in the discount rate of 105 bps down to 2.2%."
Some publicly available information suggests that even for each paid subscriber for plagiarism (LLM 'coding') GitHub Copilot still loses more money than it makes
"Mr Neidle said after repelling Mr Zahawi he was contacted by bloggers and tweeters who had received similar threats. They deleted their work “and in most cases never commented publicly on anything again”."
