You always have to be prepared for that. This is Arch.

The only use case for Appimages
If users want to carry applications around on a thumbdrive, or run on a fully immutable system like TAILS, Appimages may be needed. But this is the only target, and it is not a standard use case.

I guess I agree. This is precisely the case where I have ever used them. Namely to have a portable executable of my password manager on a stick together with a backup of the password database.

I had no idea they were being used elsewhere.

Think of it as a Linux vs. Window$ election

Yeah. I have a strict policy of never signing any CLAs. Their loss.

That while changing the licence to copyleft was an action in the right direction, it also means that they could switch the license again [for worse]. Apparently they hold the copyrights..?

If you don't need fiscal hosting then LiberaPay is the superb recurrent donations platform.

Would you mind elaborating? Honestly interested

Luckily not! There's LiberaPay, which I find preferable to OpenCollective anyway. No confusion with hosts and it's clearly non-profit.

Looks like AnySoftKeyboard

It's quite interesting to read about these hurdles, even though I'm not planning to publish anything in the foreseeable future. Always just on the downloading side. Thanks for posting. Hope you get it sorted out!
