I don't think the GPL works like this?

@crmsnbleyd That is the same exception that Shizuku has. The logo bit is justifiable, but as long as all trademarks are changed, and all the source code is released under a free license, there should not be any reason why you couldn't do that. Makes me wonder why it is published under a free license to begin with, as they obviously don't want it to be Free Software.

@boo_ there's even features that are payment gated (like customisable themes)

@crmsnbleyd That is fine in and of itself. Lots of Free Software does that. So long as you are allowed to change and redistribute it, that isn't an issue imo.

My personal take is that this is entirely unenforceable and they wouldn't have a case if they were to go after a forked project. What exceptions like this do are make me not want to use or promote a project, because they make me seriously doubt the developers' intentions.

@crmsnbleyd@hachyderm.io it does if you exclude certain files from licensing under the primary license and instead using a separate license

however that is not what they are doing here which is in violation
