And to be clear, his code is posted on Github and available for anyone to review. The licensing doesn't allow others to copy his code for their own financial benefit. That's a far cry form "closed source" so stop with the fear mongering.

So he makes the code available for review but doesn't want it forked? Sounds very reasonable. One shouldn't ask everyone to stop using something just because one can't copy it.

a cease and desist and shutdown of open source project BTCclock!

Source?

Honestly, you're not going to convince me to stop using his products. They are among the best hardware wallets on the planet. So what if he wants to retain control of his code, and doesn't want others profiting off of his work. It's his work and his choice. And to be clear, his code is posted on Github and available for anyone to review. The licensing doesn't allow others to copy his code for their own financial benefit. That's a far cry form "closed source" so stop with the fear mongering.

In reality, your single-sided feud with nvK is making you look like you're the one with mental problems. You've been attacking him for years now, and it hasn't hurt his reputation in the slightest bit. He certainly doesn't seem to give a shit about your opinion of him, his product, or his choice of licensing for his software.

People being against open source projects is one of the ironic thing I have come know now to be honest. I thought everyone would definitely support all open source projects because even the closed sources projects dev still get things to learn from the open source, since there are more numbers of dev working on such projects. Also this doesn't really stop closed source projects from not making their money, people should at least still have freedom to choose in regards to this. Also I'm highly curious on what legal rights or schemes did he used to shutdown this project.

I am calling everyone to STOP using all c0inkite c0ldard products that are owned by a mental case nvK.
This guy is against open source code and he proved that it with his c0ldcard crap license shenanigans.
Just when I thought he can't go any deeper in his pile of crap, he ''surprised'' me with a cease and desist and shutdown of open source project BTCclock!
From now on I am considering nvk to be enemy of open source and I don't trust him.
This is another attack on Open Source!
