It looks like it's not on the website anymore?
It's true that that swastika (usually going in the other direction) is a buddhist symbol, but it looks like the person who forked it is from Slovenia, which has never been a buddhist country but was briefly a Nazi country. It's hard to believe that was an accidental oversight.

- mushufasa 7y agooh man that's sneaky. They're very faint. The sneak factor does not belie good intentions, regardless of claims.

- StavrosK 7y agoIt's only sneaky if you assume bad intentions. Otherwise they're discreet.
- sooheon 7y agoI think being told what you are not allowed to do by strangers on the internet can elicit a certain stubbornness. I don't blame either side, but think it is strange for people to be so sure of another's intentions.

- isbjorn16 7y agoSymbols get irrevocably besmirched all the time. I'm not going to be the person roping in a documentation tool that results in "<FAANG Company X> uses software linked to Nazis" as a BBC headline, you know? That headline alone is going to roflstomp any amount of nuanced rhetoric - and that's giving the maintainer the absolute most kind benefit of the doubt, which I'm not even remotely convinced they actually deserve.
