Comment on Where is Naomi Wu?

Losing Naomi Wu to the CCP was a catastrophic loss to the FOSS community, I remember that she once went directly to confront a company (I think located in China) to demand for the release of their modified version of a copyleft software
I hope she’s still alive and doing well

She went there, because in the support forum the manufacturer replied that they can only give the source code in person.
Actually that’s acceptable, and does not violate GPL, they just expected that noone will show up in their sweatshop. GPL does not define how you should make the source available.

The GPL is not a China-backed agreement. China can do whatever the fuck it wants, because that’s how dictatorships roll.
