Seriously. The repeated juvenile comments attacking the person who asked for attribution left a sour taste in my mouth.

  He's also teaching a course on Ethical Hacking which just makes this even more bizarre.

    Maybe that's a typo and it's actually Ethics Hacking? :)

  In the comments: "MIT doesn't explicitly require any sort of attribution." I haven't verified that, but if that is right, the forker isn't wrong. In that situation it is both childish and annoying to insist on attribution.

    Of course, you legally aren't obligated to attribute. There may even be valid ethical reasons for not wanting to attribute. It's not a good reflection of character to make immature jabs and denigrate the person asking as a 'junior developer', as if that's a personality flaw. All you need to say is: Thanks for bringing this up, but I am not obligated nor feel that I should attribute. Thank you.

    MIT contains: > The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. That sounds like requiring attribution? EDIT: But yeah, only attribution in the actual code (and maybe binaries? IANAL...); I wouldn't read that as requiring attribution in the readme.
