This shit is why people stop contributing to open source and releasing open source projects: predatory companies taking open source projects and calling them their own with little or not contributions back. It burns innovation and demoralizes creators who keep pushing the needle.

As hard as it is for people to break into infosec, people often release open source projects to prove their worth. This kind of shit can ruin that spirit. As a long time member of the #DFIR open source community, I feel like I need to call BS where I see it. Companies must be held accountable and should abide by licensing and contribute back as warrented by said licensing. I hope to see some contributions and good faith back to https://cipp.app/

@gleeda Here is a little benefit of doubt. That CEO is pretty good at bullshjt bingo and has the cooperate doublespeak of a bad guy in 1984. He should just have announced CIPP integration openly, instead of trying to pass it off as his own product.
But at least they claim In the comments to be funding CIPP. That is not nothing. Anyone knows how much? Would be interesting to see if he puts his money where his mouth is.

@gleeda thanks for sharing. Crazy story. I follow this because I try to find sustainable FOSS business/financing models. For the niche I am in (audio software), it looks pretty bleak.
