Totally don't email [email protected] asking about the broken contractual obligation to open source Nova Launcher.
That would be sooooo bad to do!!!
Don't mass email the corpo who bought out Nova and directly killed it, think of the poor CEO of branch (who also said they were going to open source Nova if they lost all full time devs)
definitely don't do that. Totally not. That would be awful. To see one of the most powerful android launchers get open sourced. Wouldn't that just be terrible? Who wouldn't want a piece of Android history and the life's work of a small band of devs to be left in obscurity...
@inderix Nova was GPL?
@anselmschueler it's closed source right now but Branch has a contractal obligation to change that since they first laid off the Nova team besides Kevin, and then a few days ago Kevin put out an update saying he was told to stop the open sourcing effort and he's since left as well.
@inderix do you have a link?
@anselmschueler Kevin Barry, the was-lead dev of Nova since the very beginning, put a statement up here:
https://teslacoilapps.com/nova/solong.html

Within that, he cites comments from ex-CEO Alex Austin saying Nova would have been OSS'd by contractual obligation.
And thanks for all the Tempeh
