alt Hacker NewsI really dislike the attitude that open source maintainers should adapt their code to comply with any bullshit requirements from random companies just so they can use the code. Be grateful that someone wrote code for you to use freely.

You could sell a commercial license to a "swear free" version, haha.

If it's open source everyone is allowed to create derivative works. That includes companies with a stick up their ass. They should get their shit together and god damn fork it themselves. Or if everyone able to do it left because of this type of bullshit they can put their money where their mouth is and fucking pay someone to maintain a 'cleaned up' fork on their behalf.

I hope that any response would be very colourful indeed.
On the plus side, adding profanity once it is scanned for sounds like another way to weed out some commercial use without explicitly weeding out some commercial use..
That could be handy to an already annoyed maintainer.
