They forked an OSS project and kept their fork open. PGPCard functionality in YK4 is unrelated code. Clearly stated in blog.

Just because a new product has same function as old one doesn't mean you have a moral obligation to open source code.

Just making an argument that they never CLOSED any OSS code. Disingenuous to imply they did. Blog post makes this point.

I never said that they closed OSS code, no one is saying that. The post says other things which I quoted and consider inaccurate.

Sorry, I must have misinterpreted "their initial OSS use is being reversed". I see now you meant POLICY not code.

indeed, but their OSS code is such probably only because of having to honor licenses, they can't "close" it anyway (legally)...

Most, if not all, code from
@Yubico is OSS except for the yubikey firmware. I'd say that is a pretty OSS-friendly policy.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
I fully agree, which is probably the very reason about why some people are disappointed by that important exception.

In fact it might put both users and
@Yubico at risk. I'd much rather see a transparent assurance initiative around firmware.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
If you are saying that putting software as OSS might put users at risk then I truly disagree with that.
