Ah, details. That comes closer to an opinion, thanks. I see how one would not want to work with some people. It is a tough question. It seems that the XLibre developer does hold some extreme opinions (that is their right!), but doesn't seem willing to question them from time to time (what can be a problem when working together). I didn't research too much about it, but found those two [1] [2] in The Register. This shows to me that the XLibre main developer tries to spread borderline unscientific stuff (that mRNA from vaccines somenow finds its way into the cell's DNA) -- but doesn't qualify for me (yet!) as Nazi. I'd be still a bit wary of working with them. So, Antoine, you seem to have a point, but the way you "sell" it doesn't really help towards an informed discussion.
