@aphyr Is it really open source if end users can't build it from source? Containers, conda, etc are just different ways of saying the devs have lost control of their build process and have let it become brittle, byzantine, and effectively closed.
@arclight@aphyr Hot take: derivatives of GPL works distributed so that they're unbuildable without some awful undocumented container setup are infringing because build scripts are part of the mandated definition of source.
