More specific to the license violations is this issue on httprouter: https://github.com/julienschmidt/httprouter/issues/148 https://github.com/julienschmidt/httprouter/issues/148

I don't see this framework going anywhere. The repo owner is the sole contributor [0], and is singularly pre-occupied with benchmarks and GitHub stars. The owner's entitlement about copy-pasted code, use of the royal "we", quickness to close issues without discussion, and pattern of editing and deleting issue comments are also discouraging.

  "Discouraging" is the nicest hedge you could have used. There are a bunch of Go frameworks and libraries and whatnot for writing web servers, this one should be passed by very quickly.

  He is not the sole contributor, actually. He squashes master every once in a while to a single commit, which removes other authors. If you peruse the travis builds page[1] you can see commits by other people [1] https://travis-ci.org/kataras/iris/builds https://travis-ci.org/kataras/iris/builds

    This seems terribly hypocritical - someone very mindful of GitHub stars going out of his way to remove others' attribution!

I want to throw the "if u want contributors, dont be a dick and stop edit all what you don't like"-Hammer on him imho the "Propaganda" tag is horrible too

      Ok. It looks like he is finally moving in the right direction.

Dude has a bit of a... "hook" with stars... > I see that you didn't star Iris, can you tell me the reason in order to fix that? https://github.com/kataras/iris/issues/148#issuecomment-221776409 https://github.com/kataras/iris/issues/148#issuecomment-2217... screenshot in case he edits it like every other thing: http://i.imgur.com/5YxCVO5.png http://i.imgur.com/5YxCVO5.png edit: same behavior at https://github.com/kataras/iris/issues/225 https://github.com/kataras/iris/issues/225 and a couple other places. :|

he's even cheating in the THIRDPARTY.md (its existence is still not an excuse for violating licenses) https://github.com/kataras/iris/issues/230 https://github.com/kataras/iris/issues/230
