Fedora and OBS Studio dispute distribution of broken Flatpak |
 |
A dispute between the Open Broadcasting Software (OBS Studio) project and the Fedora distribution is ongoing. OBS had complained to Fedora that the Linux distribution was shipping a Flatpak bundle of OBS in which much of the normal functionality was broken while maintaining OBS's name and trademarks. Further, the broken OBS Flatpak shipped by Fedora was overriding the official OBS Flatpak supplied by Flathub when users had both repositories enabled. This resulted in many frustrated users and bug reports being submitted to the OBS project for a package they did not create or support. The OSNews website has a good overview of the events to date: "One of the applications this happened to is OBS, and over three weeks ago the OBS project requested that either the broken, unofficial Fedora Flatpak be removed, or that it be made clear that the Flatpak was third-party. This request seems entirely reasonable to me, and it would be fairly trivial for Fedora to do this. In fact, I think respecting this request is merely common decency. Sadly, the Fedora project thought differently, and just... Ignored the request. And so the OBS project escalated the issue." The broken Fedora package remains in place at time of writing, but with a warning that the package is no longer receiving updates. |
