Comment:
Well, it's open source, one can always make a fork and fix the issue, while still making the client/servers backwards compatible, so that the fork can also connect to the free servers.

To be honest, I would still use it. I use it for mostly home stuff, some remote assistance, but I'm far from paranoid. It solves an issue many people have been having with AnyDesk, like no new builds for Linux x86 (the current builds still work, but no one knows for how long), and since AnyDesk is not open source, it may suffer from similar issues, but we have no idea, since the source is not available.

If it doesn't make it in the repo, so be it, I would probably make the template myself and make a new repo on my GH. I understand the concern for security, but people have real world problems that need cheap or free solutions ASAP. I have 4 headless RPis and 2 headless rigs (a NAS and an encoder). I might set up a local RustDesk server on one of them, for my personal needs, but if I only had the 2 headless rigs, then no, probably not, I would just use the free servers. Not to mention that one of the Pi's is involved in a robot project that I sometimes test on the field and I can't bring the RustDesk server every time I test outside, that's just impractical, so yes, in that case, I'll use the free servers (shrug).
