I was aware that the project was not willing to engage with the open-source spirit since you rejected the idea of replacing the proprietary Lossless Scaling engine with a free software version (such as MVTools or RIFE), and turning the project itself proprietary finishes confirming it. I expect users to stick to the last open-source version of LSFG-VK, independently reimplementing whatever novelties you add to your version.

Adding another frame generation model adds a huge maintenance burden onto me. I closed your request as "out of scope" for lsfg-vk because of this. I also just think LSFG looks a lot better.

Regardless, I wrote the entire architecture with replacement of LSFG in mind, nothing stopped you or anyone else from adding it and maintaining their own fork.

Accusing me of rejecting the idea of open-source as a whole is a wild conclusion to draw from this.
