Let’s forget for a moment that #COLDCARD was built on the back of open-source software, including GPLv3-licensed code developed by #Trezor.

Let’s forget that nostr:nprofile1qqsw3znfr6vdnxrujezjrhlkqqjlvpcqx79ys7gcph9mkjjsy7zsgygpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshsc5rrsm was perfectly happy to benefit from the open-source work of others, but when Foundation built Passport using #COLDCARD’s own GPLv3-licensed code, he cried foul, and #Coinkite then moved newer #COLDCARD code away from genuine open-source licensing to basically:

“You can look at it, but you can’t use it to compete with us.”

Let’s forget all of that.
