The systemd developers have made it clear that they are not interested |
| 20 |
in supporting systems that we wish to support. That is why we forked. We |
| 21 |
intend to keep under a compatible license so that they can cherry-pick |
| 22 |
patches that they deem to fit their narrow criteria for being |
| 23 |
appropriate. However, it would be a waste of valuable development time |
| 24 |
for us to cherry-pick patches for them on the chance that they might |
| 25 |
decide to consider entertaining the idea of merging them. |
