> Oh @awscloud I really do :Two hearts: you! But next time you fork my OS project https://github.com/checkly/headless-recorder https://github.com/checkly/headless-recorder and present it as your new service, give the maintainers a short "nice job, kids" or something. Not necessary as per the APLv2 license, but still, ya know?
He is only nicely and asking for recognition/attribution while acknowledging that it's not required per licence.
I don't know why people have to take sides or be angry about it. Just as amazon was free to take his project and make it their own, he is Free to mention the fact that someone is indeed selling his work without even giving an open mention.
- hashkb 6y agoAre those on this forum not similarly free to express their judgment?
- Aeolun 6y agoI guess they are. It would just be nice if they paused and check they made that judgement based on what they actually read, instead of the initial emotion they felt while reading.
- loufe 6y agoTo be fair: as mentioned elsewhere in the comments, Amazon did in fact credit him, and he admitted his mistake later in the Twitter thread.
- kllrnohj 6y agoIncorrect. Amazon included the legally-required NOTICES, which isn't what he was asking for. And similarly the author did not admit any such mistake as no such mistake was made.
- unreal37 6y agoThere is no evidence that they "credited him" explicitly, merely that his source code, which they copied, included a link to his website.
