@petrillic Of the possible buyers this is very close to my least ideal.

The tool is open source, and has no astral-specific service dependencies. I am going to trust that to the same extent I trust it to keep Linux usable despite the motivations of the contributors. It's forkable.

@petrillic I sure don't *like* this, though. Not one bit.
@offby1 I just can’t see how a company bleeding cash with zero viable map to break even has a positive influence.
@petrillic I agree wholeheartedly; I think there's no chance of a *positive* outcome. I think that in the 2 years since uv became a thing, though, Python packaging has improved immensely and that part will stay with us even if uv itself withers.
