Seems like open source can't go a week without drama caused by c-suite lately.

Seems like corporate greed can't go a week without enshitting on a open source project.

You could have ended that sentence with enshitting and still been correct.

Nah, c suite was pretty clearly in the right here. Dude left because he was pissed that a vulnerability got assigned a CVE instead of just... Not informing anyone so they could quietly fix it.
-
Have you looked into the CVE? Apparently it is a non issue. You could use it to dos a service that have an experimental feature enabled, which is disabled by default, on a non stable Version. I understand the dev. CVE should be for serious issues. And they alerted their users over an email list
It can be used for dos, as it is crashing workers, but they will be restarted anyway.

the CVE thing seems to be a straw that broke the camel's back if anything. it seems a bit fucky to expect a core maintainer to work on your project without pay because you wanted to look virtuous by firing them during the initial invasion of Ukraine.
I'm sure if they, yaknow, paid him, the corporate procedures he was still bound to wouldn't be so bad.
doubt freegnix will get far, mind you, but I don't think it's entirely fair to call his reaction "sour grapes"

Stuff like this is a great reminder about the power of Open Source. Even if it's inconvenient for the downstream user(/admin/etc), it contributes to strengthening software as a whole

user(/admin/etc)
undefined
/etc/{admin,user}FTFY

Lol, thanks

Haha... It actually makes sense that something complex like nginx is created by some genius russian guy.
