The Sovereign Tech Agency (Germany) funded $562,800 (half a million) worth of development on ALPM (Arch Linux Package Management) work. That work was focused, almost entirely, on creating “Rust libraries and tools” for Arch package management which “aims to maintain compatibility with pacman”. As of this moment, the Rust ALPM has not replaced Pacman entirely. But common sense would indicate that replacement is a goal (otherwise the heavily funded development would be nonsensical).

By the way, existing Arch package management tools (such as Pacman) are licensed under the GPL. The new, Rust-based libraries and replacements are licensed under the MIT license.

I hate cuck licenses and I hate corporate entities that promote cuck licenses so that they can take someone else's work for free

Thank you brother for bringing attention to this matter.

Invetigating pacman/libalpm itself. you can see that libalpm has the following so dependencies:
libcrypto.so  => Apache-2.0
libarchive.so => BSD-2-Clause
libcurl.so => MIT
libgpgme.so => (multi, including MIT)
libc.so => (depends on impl)


I ENCOURAGE ALL MY COMRADES TO UNINSTALL PACMAN AND ALL THESE POZZED DEPENDENCIES, INCLUDING GLIBC WHICH IS LGPL-POZZED. STICK TO GPL ONLY.

You dont hate Gremans enough.

(((MIT))) license
thanks, German government

i've been wanting to move to artix, but maybe i will switch to gentoo

>>107836053
Now that Arch is dead Gentoo really is the last unpozzed Linux distro.
The question is how do we avoid losing that too because there will be nowhere left to run otherwise.

That list includes NixOS, which is very much pozzed.
