Keep sharpening the pitchforks.

The license change isn't a dealbreaker, but Qualcomm still consists of 900000 insectoid lawyers pretending to be humans, and their hivemind thinks "open source" is some kind of disease.

The "best case scenario" was that Arduino would get Qualcomm as a whole to be more open to small devs. The "worst case scenario" was that Qualcomm would get Arduino to be as bad as Qualcomm, and you'd have to "talk to sales" to get an SDK for your development board.

So far, we're not getting the "best case scenario". So keep the pitchforks at hand.

It may be over already. I mean, the pitchforks will change what exactly? Looks like qualcom pwns I mean owns the arduino ecosystem now. Just like a killed-by-Google meme, qualcom may soon start its own killed-by-qualcom trend.

You can keep the pitchforks out, but you sadly need to assume Arduino is dead.

Of course, if you weren't already making that assumption when Qualcomm bought them, I don't know what to tell you ...

"we collect data for your privacy" they have no idea what words or actions mean anymore.

There is no such thing as being purchased by a large company while retaining anything non-evil. If anything this is the remaining employees who were lied to their face about remaining whatever they were

You can stash them.

Show me a time anyone has ever remained themselves after being purchased by Qualcomm.

It’s over for Arduino.
