On: Font Awesome 4 released

[nvk]

v4 And this still not really Open Source.

[fortawesome → nvk]

Uh, what are you talking about?

[quarterto → fortawesome]

I think they're referring to an article that made the rounds a few days ago (can't remember which) that decried the requirement of Adobe Illustrator for participation (citing as evidence the ratio of icon requests vs pull requests).

[fortawesome → quarterto]

I tried taking designs from other folks. The quality wasn't good enough, so I stopped.

[skore → fortawesome]

Ah, so the old "you don't like my pull request, so I will tell people you're not Open Source". Classic.

[ceejayoz → skore]

Some people apparently think "open source" means "anyone can commit whatever they like to the main repository", which is odd.

[nvk → ceejayoz]

- Can't do pull requests on the graphics. - Can't download the svgs.

The only thing that is open source is the implementation.

What the heck? SIL OFL for the font, CSS etc is MIT, even the documentation is CC.
