He is a HomeAssistant community admin and they took his side, this is a case of two FOSS communities with irreconcilable differences.

If the HA community's stance goes on to be made official (for now it's informal forum posts, albeit from senior maintainers), I would argue this is then a case of one FOSS community (Nix) having irreconcilable differences with the community of a proprietary software project falsely advertised as FOSS.

You don't have to fork, you can just use that release. You just can't use any subsequent releases, but neither can HA.
