"The actix author almost certainly (unless they deploy their own kernel) has profited immensely from other peoples work."

Prove it.

Actix was written in rust. Rust is OS. qed.

Quote from Rich's gist.

The actix author could just have walked away, no harm done, push one button "Archive", go outside and enjoy the sun.

Instead they choose to throw a tantrum, write a pamphlet and nuke everything.

Entitlement goes both ways.
