Making your own copy of the repo that is available publicly is fairly
easy with git/hg.  Just make your repo and push to it.  Then you can
share that URL.  In this case, the only distinction is in GitHub, forked
repos show up in an index somewhere, but for the distributing code that
depends on the code it's fine.

Responding on "open core" section even though my point is more general.

Personally, I would like to see more of a rational behind this change.
The usual contract I am used to is roughly: I give you money, you serve
my bits.  With restrictions on my bits not harming your business.  These
changes really push your beliefs on me, which I do not support.  I would

I don't think this thread is the correct place to debate Brave.  My comment really has nothing to do with brave but just expressing my personal expectations as a paying customer.

I would not response the same.    I don't know anything about Brave and
my comment doesn't really have much to do with the Brave..

Communication etiquette 4 years ago

From Malcolm Matalka to ~sircmpwn/sr.ht-discuss

Hello, this email is not meant to ask for any behaviour change or
explanation or apology but just to state a position.

https://todo.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht/243

The above ticket was opened today and the response was pretty curt.  I
don't really have an opinion one way or the other about the actual time
on it, but as a paying customer I would appreciate a more traditional
customer service etiquette.  If I were to post that item and got that
response, it would not have increased my loyalty.  It also provides a
stumbling block when I try to convince other people to become paying
customers.  If they were to come upon that ticket ask me what's the deal
with the tone, I wouldn't be able to defend it.

I do not know. I also do not know if the archive tools guarantee deterministic output.
