I don't know if you noticed or not, but this project has been dead for at least 3 years...together with its support. So, where is the problem if someone brings it back to life and ask a "little donation" to continue the development? 🤷‍♂️

I'm not saying you can not brings it back to life or asking for a "little donation", but this source code is licensed under GPLv3, other party should fulfill the conditions to distribute own copies, what's the point to open source when someone can just steal your code and monetize it.

Understandable (under lincense POV) point, but if nobody take the reins of the project, and the existing one continue to be dead (mainly because zero revenues), I don't think it's a bad idea to offer an alternative...also under the same name, to help users to understand the app purpose.

At this point the error was firstly of Aefyr, that binded this project to a license, despite knowing the fate that it would have.
