Not only having code stolen without attribution, but stolen by the company running AdBlock, who appears to have just co-opted the uBlock brand. This is GPL'ed code being stolen with clearly deceptive and rent-seeking behavior. I wonder if the Software Freedom Conservancy would be interested in taking a look? https://sfconservancy.org/ https://sfconservancy.org/
- AnaniasAnanas 8y agoI thought that it was by the same scammer that ran ublock.org?
- fapjacks 8y agoFrom my understanding, the original turd that began soliciting donations for uBlock was made an offer to sell the Github repo to the turds behind AdBlock. And what you're seeing here is a clear demonstration of that group's very poor understanding of the law.
- AnaniasAnanas 8y agoThank you for explaining. Would you happen to know if he is still involved with the project (as an employee or something)?
- fapjacks 8y agoThat I do not know, sorry. While he is not a good programmer (judging from what little is available on his Github), the AdBlock rent-seekers do not seem to have technical skills (judging from the way they do things). So I could see a justification for either case.
