This makes sense. If people take your work without credit, you need to protect it. GPLv2 is a strong way to do that. I hope it helps the team keep building.

Some time ago, we were made aware of multiple attempts to exploit our permissive licensing to hijack our work, with a direct view to replacing the project and aggressively monetising Linux on Apple Silicon. In some extreme cases, in-development feature code was being lifted straight out of our personal forks and published without attribution or lazily rewritten with LLM assistance to obfuscate its origin.

As such, we made the difficult decision to begin the process of transitioning all of our repositories to the GNU General Public License version 2 or later.

Will GPLv2 save FOSS? And, skipping the examples above, this is clearly about Omarchy on Apple Silicon.
