I went ahead and edited the article to include a section of Mint downgrading GTK4+libadwaita versions of GNOME Calendar back to GTK3: https://tesk.page/2026/07/18/how-far-would-hostile-distributions-go-to-hurt-upstream/#addendum-past-visual-and-behavioral-changes-to-calendar-while-retaining-the-brand
And edited again to demonstrate potential license violation: https://tesk.page/2026/07/18/how-far-would-hostile-distributions-go-to-hurt-upstream/#addendum-2-potential-license-violation
Hopefully the first addendum should provide more context to why we're so annoyed by the situation.

@TheEvilSkeleton@social.treehouse.systems Like, I am not a fan of libadwaita and the general attitude towards theming within GNOME - as you know - but that doesn't mean I get to be an asshole. Properly fork the damn applications and make them work like you want to - theming, no CSD, whatever - instead of trying to ride the coattails of GNOME and profit from GNOME's name and marketing.
