OK, there are more forks!
This is one of the first ones i've found that reverts telemetry.
If anyone has a more reliable one, please share :)

A fork that is actually maintened and creates a new community or absorbs the old one, is what's actually useful.
Though, if the intent is to just release a version without telemetry, that should be easy to maintain.

Not only it wasn't a fork, it probably wouldn't have gotten that far without those big pockets.
With a privacy policy like this, I don't really care what the commit message says, as it looks like they are preparing for more. They even consider it their right to collect data for litigation to defend their interests, so they might start sending audio fingerprints.
BTW, they shoved a CLA onto (some?) developers, most likely so they can release a non-GPL version. Fork is in order.
