For anyone interested about the blog post drama check https://twitter.com/cmuratori/status/1522468481135902725 (hn discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31284419)
Personally I think that he owes them nothing, especially after the way he was treated in https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/10362 so I can't comprehend statements which claim that he was an asshole for using GPL.
This is debatable, especically for anyone who followed Murray's reporting. Here are a few random links that I had bookmarked that give a different opinion. I could possibly find more but I really do not want to spend the rest of the day on this.

I also think that you misunderstood what the parent said, I took it to mean that the court could deny it because they could hypothetically decide that it wasn’t a crime according to UK law
- At 2017 when the study was made, CLBG relied (and still is) on "FFI, unsafe code, and hand-written SIMD intrinsics".
- The author of that paper did in fact mention the benchmarks game.
- The two 2017 CLBG examples that hayley-patton linked are exactly the same in the study's github repo.
But despite that, you decided to waste everyone's time and your real complaint is that https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31502504 should have linked at the github links that I posted in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31548339 even though contents are exactly the same (at least as far as the argument is concerned, I have not and will not check if one of the versions has an extra ; or whatever), is that right?
Edit: it came to my attention that you are the one running CLBG, you might want to mention that (either on your profile or on your posts) when you engage in CLBG-related arguments.

It feels like you are arguing in bad faith.
Even if this is true[1] I do not see how this would alert the result of the referendum, given the amount of people who voted in support of joining Russia.
[1] this article is the first time that I saw such a claim. I might search about it later.
"and that the very question posed in the referendum was completely biased"
The question as posted in Wikipedia seems reasonable to me.
"Your statement seems to imply that Ukraine is not a sovereign country, otherwise it pains me to understand how it could be 'separatist'. Care to elaborate?"
I mean regarding the currently occupied territories/after a future annexation of Ukraine.
"do speak of 'elimination'"
Sure, of the ideas of "sovereignty, nationhood, and nationality", not of the people themselves.
"Since the elimination of a nationality and its culture is what's known as committing a genocide"
I (and as I perceive it, the majority of the people) do not personally consider the elimination of the idea of a nationality as genocide. I could perhaps be willing to entertain the idea of a cultural genocide (it is however questionable that this is what is planned for the Ukrainians) but I would not equate it to an actual genocide.
"are you saying that Spain is committing a genocide in Catalonia?"
I have seen some arguing it, but it is not something that I personally believe.
I would suggest "Mussolinists" instead, as Franco is more associated with Falangism. I honestly thought that you were referring to the Franks.
As for the segregation policy, it sounds like a self-imposed problem.
