Sometimes an old legacy project have things that are dated but also years and years of bug fixes, improvements many not really documented. Starting a new project to replace it, will have regressions it’s impossible to not

Claude code can help

Android is open source, or big part of it. If Android auto part is open source (I am not sure), someone could in theory use this to have car mirroring. I think it’s a very useful feature that no one is forced to use. I don’t see why some people are against it in the comments

I think the instance owner would be responsible, but what if the instance is out of the state?

Unless the instance owner is on a visa, with a criminal record they could get him. But otherwise it’s hard to be enforced.

Maybe they could ask the app stores to ban apps in that states. Something like that

Also states could ask ISP blocking the main instances.

Oh really I had the impression if you have a GPLv3 dependency in the same pack it could be interpreted as distributing it with your code.

Well thank TIL for me.

Linux has a problem with distribution of binaries, and companies for profit doesn’t want to share source … and packages with only binaries have some dependencies problem… although Flatpak and Snap improved this A LOT…. But then would have GLPv3 in many dependencies and you cannot ship it with a “for profit” product.

This is the biggest hurdle for Linux “for profit” market for better apps. Also many Linux users are against the paid model, preferring open source. There is a cultural limitation to break the bubble

I think SteamOS is helping a lot to break this … but still Linux desktop need to have a cultural change specially on license model or binary stability to be able to have a better app availability
