What are the unspecified policies the developer claims that the company has failed to uphold? Who is this particular developer, and how much should I trust them? (I don’t follow nginx development at all.)
I celebrate the fact that open source licenses exist specifically to allow people to make a fork like this when they have disagreements! But I don’t know enough about this particular case to decide how it should affect my own plans.
As far as I understand from the discussions about the topic, Maxim Dounin was one of the few core developers of nginx. Looks like Wikipedia has already been updated.
The most recent “security advisory” was released despite the fact
that the particular bug in the experimental HTTP/3 code is
expected to be fixed as a normal bug as per the existing security
policy, and all the developers, including me, agree on this.
And, while the particular action isn’t exactly very bad, the
approach in general is quite problematic.
I read something about this the other day, but I’m having trouble wrapping my head around it.
How concerned should I be?
