This popped up on my work laptop yesterday. Very annoying.

      I guess if you think it’s ironic then you do you.

      You honestly see no irony, license-wise, in using an open source product to repair/modify a closed source product?

      At all?

      I’ve been using OSS software to make proprietary OSes not suck for almost 3 decades, and that’s exactly one of the things I expect it to do.

      No one is disputing that. That’s not the point being made.

      But, if you have a better word for me to use than ironic, please let me know.

          Again, it’s not how the tool is used, or what the tools used on, it’s the licensing difference, that is the irony.

          That closed source products have to rely on open source products, to be modified to work well.
