    Okay I’m seeing further chicanery. Their GitHub repo gives the license as MIT but many of the components are not Omarchy originals but derivatives of other products under different licences. Quickshell is LGPL 3, for example, and of course the Linux kernel is GPL 2.

    But then there’s a guy working on the “Omarchy Kernel”, which I guess is a derivative like Ubuntu does…

    Personalities aside this is still weird, and I wish people would focus on that.

      I don’t think that matters here. NixOS is also MIT licensed.

        The nix package(?) system, sure, but the eponymous OS of course has parts under a diversity of licenses, including a GPL kernel.

        What I don’t get/trust if how Omarchy just slaps an MIT label on its GitHub even when I can see software in there that I know use different licenses.
