 didn't they also use trezor's source code for the coldcard and when foundation used theirs for the passport, coinkite switched from open source to source verifiable? yeah, i'm not interested in what you're selling.. open source or bust 
 they even renamed the trezor libs… shame

there is nothing wrong with building on other products 
 Source-visible is lame. It's open source lite, for people who don't go any further than looking at the source code. It's a "look but don't touch" perspective that hinders progress and development while maintaining the veneer of open source. I don't think source-visible should even be a thing. It should be open source, and proprietary. If you're not going to open source, shouldn't get to pretend you are.
