To be fair, he not only put up his code on GitHub, he also created a semi-professional looking and analogously worded website. That's not something that is posted to HN by "mistake". It sounds more like a startup than a hobby project: > We are a Chicago based team of developers, dedicated to creating useful, intuitive software that helps people better integrate digital computing into their daily lives The GitHub repository also proves it's not "we": https://github.com/agajews/ApricityOS/graphs/contributors

I'm really sorry for being overly snarky, but where should one start contributing to this giant mess? It's basically a few packages packaged up in a questionable manner (with license violations[1] in the past), none of which are actually written by the developer himself. He is styling himself and the OS as a professional project (at least that's the vibe I get from the website[2]) and he is actually asking for money[3] while he is putting his users in serious danger (as the current top post[4] illustrates) caused by his "rookie choices". This is deceptive and prompts unsuspecting users to install a High School project on their personal computers in the mistaken belief that they deal with someone skilled.

I'm not even sure if the PushBullet license lets them do that. https://github.com/agajews/ApricityOS - binaries in source control, sigh. Edit: Looks like it could be profitable - I wonder how much of this makes it back to Arch: https://github.com/agajews/ApricityOS/blob/master/PATRONS
