It's his software and he can do with it as he pleases. It's an MIT license, so there's no warranty whatsoever.
I'm not convinced that GitHub has any business suspending his account.
- ulimn 5y agoIf he can do as he pleases, can't GitHub as well?
- not2b 5y agoGitHub also has rights. They can choose to boot vandals off. They can choose not to host intentional malware.
- foxhop 5y agoHow does one vandalized her own property? Isn't that just called using it?
- throwawayay02 5y agoThey can and they did, but it still feels malicious because they intentionally reverted the maintainer's latest version, which is the author's will on their creation. It's a bit like me going to my bank to close the account and instead they throw me out and keep my money. Honestly I don't understand why microsoft did anything at all. Can't people just pin a version?
- fault1 5y agodoesn't npm have policies for packages to follow semvar? I could see why they would have policies to rollback broken minor versions that are distributed via npm.
- esarbe 5y agoYes, fair enough.
