The team at NPM deserves a lot of respect for how they have handled this, and the speed at which they've responded to the community's demand. Bashing them for doing this is an unreasonable double standard.
First, they provide a free amazing tool and service for the community.
Second, they didn't have the wherewithal to fight a legal battle over a naming issue for one of their users. So they complied, and the community got upset.
Third, they apologized and took actions to conform to the community's requests. No groveling, no excuses.
Fourth, and now people are bashing them for the opposite extreme? This is ridiculous.
The NPM team deserves a lot of respect and praise, not loud mouthing from a bunch of users who don't even donate to support the service.
- jsprogrammer 11y agoYour facts are wrong. NPM claims there was no legal threat, they made the transfer on their own volition. Where is the NPM apology? The blog post I saw directly regarding the `kik` package essentially says they did everything right and would do it again. >We stand by our package name dispute resolution policy, and the decision to which it led us. NPM's decision went against their Code of Conduct. Why should that be respected, let alone praised?
- aioprisan 11y agoWhy is this getting downvoted? As I read it as well, NPM went against their own code of conduct.
