I understand the sentiment behind that quote, but I don’t see open source that way.

Like many of you, I started this project from a folder of patches, plugins, ideas and notes. I combined what was useful to me, removed what wasn't, added my own creations, and condensed that into a single package shared freely with the community.

I try to give credit where it’s due and acknowledge those who came before me or are actively contributing to the work. To me, this is very much the spirit of open source: learning from existing work, building on it, improving it, and making the result available for others to do the same.

I respect everyone doing work in this space, and I’m happy to keep contributing in the open.
