Why? He didn't decompile nor copy any Adobe code.
He's offering free alternatives to the world and making software available to people who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford it. Some school in rural India or Africa can now teach kids how to use computers for media editing. Adobe has moved their software behind subscriptions for a decade+ now and costs hundreds each year, even with a edu discount.
Why would anyone wish for him to lose against Adobe when he's built this effectively from scratch using his own token budget and shared it to the world?
