Talking about MOQ 4.20 version…
Let me start with the articles.
“The popular open-source project Moq has faced criticism for including a controversial dependency called SponsorLink in its latest release. SponsorLink, shipped as closed source, collects hashes of user email addresses and sends them to SponsorLink’s CDN, raising privacy concerns.”
After 4.20.0 was released, these two issues had been raised.
There is a total of 800–900 messages though, there were certainly sharp points raised.
It was not only a privacy issue but also a trust issue, as well as the developer, did never expect this to be in OSS overnight.
