PiKVM is a great project, but I'm not sure why its fans feel the need to dump on mine.
As I mentioned in another comment,[0] TinyPilot is all original code - it's not a fork of PiKVM.
TinyPilot depends on uStreamer, which is a PiKVM tool. I use it under the terms of the license and have contributed back in several ways.
>I think he should be acknowledging pikvm more, or, at all
I publicly credit uStreamer in several places in the TinyPilot repo and on the website. What kind of acknowledgement are you expecting?
>The more he says "It's my code" without even any qualifiers, the less sympathy I have, and I want people to be able to make an honest living while working with open source hardware and software.
Why does using an external open source component make TinyPilot not my code? TinyPilot also depends on Flask and nginx and Linux. Is any project that has an open source dependency somehow stealing?
PiKVM depends on many open source projects as well. What's the difference?
