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.
- dpbriggs 6y agoOf 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.
- yjftsjthsd-h 6y agoMIT 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.
