Red Hat has decided to stop allocating resources for maintaining and improving these parts of the freedesktop project. Red Hat isn’t working on proprietary versions of them. They’ve just decided to stop paying for work to be done on them. It just so happens that many of these projects were only being maintained by Red Hat employees, it seems.
Doesn’t this violate the gpl
How could stopping work on projects violate the gpl?
Didn’t you see the slave labor clause in there? You’re indebted for at least 3 decades when you start a new GPL project.
The GPLv4 is looking promising.
