Unbelievable that redditors were recommending Cold Card!

From Zach Herbert @zherbert:
Regarding the Coldcard entropy bug – many folks are explaining what happened but I wanted to take a minute to explain why it may have happened.
It's a disastrous situation and our heart goes out to all the Bitcoiners affected.
Here's a timeline of events:
On July 28 2020: @FoundationHQ
announced our first Passport hardware wallet and noted that we were building on Coldcard firmware which at the time was GPLv3 licensed (FOSS license).
On July 30 2020: NVK publicly said he regretted choosing GPL because Coldcard now had a “clone” and that they would change things in future updates. https://x.com/nvk/status/1288860345864527874
On November 18 2020: Coldcard added its MIT + Commons Clause license, prohibiting commercial products substantially derived from the software. https://github.com/Coldcard/firmware/commit/b6b9191145d37fbb6d754597350653141596dd12
On January 8, 2021: Coldcard firmware 3.2.1 formally announced, “License changed from GPL to MIT+CC on files for which the GPL doesn’t apply.” CC is the "Commons Clause" license addendum which is "source available" instead of FOSS.
On March 1, 2021: The “First pass w/ libNgU” commit removed the GPL @Trezor
-derived crypto libraries and replaced them with libNgU. That same 120-file commit changed seed generation code. libNgU was licensed with a novel “Licensed for Bitcoin Only” license.
On March 17, 2021: Version 4.0.0 announced that all crypto and BIP39 code had been replaced and that the “last remaining GPL code” was removed. https://blog.coinkite.com/version-4.0.0-released/
https://github.com/Coldcard/firmware/blob/b18723dddb6d751c39978e4364b56b2414f68b47/releases/ChangeLog.md#L12
Our best understanding right now is that the entropy bug was collateral damage from this major overhaul of the codebase.
To be clear, this overhaul was not solely about licensing. Coldcard also cited technical goals including adopting Bitcoin Core’s libsecp256k1, faster AES and SHA implementations, and reproducible builds.
But the timeline establishes two things:
(1) Foundation’s launch was the obvious impetus for Coldcard’s licensing change, and
(2) removing the remaining GPL code was an explicit goal of the subsequent v4 rewrite.
We don't know by how much the licensing pressure affected the scope or timeline of the rewrite. All we can determine is that the entropy bug was introduced inside the same 120-file commit that removed the old GPL code dependencies.

Inequality creates all kind of problems, but why did we even allow it to happen at all? Did we learn nothing from the dirt poor poverty, the slums of madness & the blockade of ideas, innovation and peace that comes from it? How much could we acheive by simply sharing what we have with everbody? Food, Medicine, Education, etc
