nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m will the Bitcoin Legal Defense Fund cover any expenses that may arise from Coinkite’s (what I view to be baseless) legal action against a competing open-source project, BTClock by nostr:npub1k5f85zx0xdskyayqpfpc0zq6n7vwqjuuxugkayk72fgynp34cs3qfcvqg2?

What? Coinkite think they're the only clockmakers allowed on Bitcoin now? Bad look.

Very un-Bitcoin.

Scared of competition, make a better clock!

didn't they also use trezor's source code for the coldcard and when foundation used theirs for the passport, coinkite switched from open source to source verifiable? yeah, i'm not interested in what you're selling.. open source or bust

they even renamed the trezor libs… shame

there is nothing wrong with building on other products

Source-visible is lame. It's open source lite, for people who don't go any further than looking at the source code. It's a "look but don't touch" perspective that hinders progress and development while maintaining the veneer of open source. I don't think source-visible should even be a thing. It should be open source, and proprietary. If you're not going to open source, shouldn't get to pretend you are.
