Nobody uses Quilt and gatekeeping mods is cringe.

it's open source.

Is it?

Someone should just fork it, it's open source.
Trying to gatekeep it is entirely against the point of being open source, especially when done for ideological reasons.

Software being open source doesn't mean that you automatically have the right to fork & redistribute.

You might be thinking of FOSS.

I can see the source code, so yes

It means you have the ability to. When it comes to software I don't really care if someone says you don't have the "right" to do something, especially when it's being enforced for political reasons.

You have the ability to do many things that can get you in legal trouble. I don't see your point.

Either do it and see what happens or stop complaining, lol

The point is placing restrictions on how people can fork your mod because of political reasons is a) very cringe and b) destructive to the modding community
