A suspected North Korean hacker has hijacked and modified a popular open source software development tool
to deliver malware that could put millions of developers at risk of being compromised.
On Monday, a hacker pushed malicious versions of the widely used JavaScript library called Axios,
which developers rely on to allow their software to connect to the internet.
The affected library was hosted on npm, a software repository that stores code for open source projects…

The technical part can be tricky, but it is possible to set this up with a bit of elbow grease, but getting a legal entity approved by Apple takes a lot of paperwork.

I knew it was this way but it's really hitting me today how much the Open Source movement and copyright maximalism supplanted the idea of free software, and again how much the Free Software movement turned from a close ideological cousin of the remix and open culture movement into a culture of legalism. At the same time, copyright law itself has been extended to be near-immortal copyrights rather than brief monopolies to spur creation by enabling profit from creating works.

But now it's starting to really make sense. LoRa is cheap, and possibly cheaper in bulk. And it wouldn't be necessary to build everything since ATAK-CIV exists and has several open source implementations. It can even tie in to drones (which are illegal to bring to protests in at least a few states).
