This message has been posted on their discord server yesterday, currently the app is being worked on and has no definitive ETA. We probably have to use other forks until that. I don’t know whether I can share the discord server’s link so not sharing that until a mod gives heads up.
Man that is nuts how thoroughly those guys are folding when they’ve done absolutely nothing illegal
legal battle is a headache for a bunch of open source devs who work in remote and communicate in discord. also having a legal battle will involve their irl names which is not a good thing for them.
I guess a positive outcome of this might be people more seriously considering alternatives to Github. Something about MS owning the defacto developer platform never sounded good to me.
GitHub didn’t do anything. This isn’t because the code was taken down (it’s still there, as are all the forks that are also perfectly legal); it’s because the maintainers decided it wasn’t worth putting up with big pocketed harassment to keep doing it.
