I like what npm is doing in these cases and I think so do most developers.
Isn't this what people are always praising about linux package managers? That they modify the software in all kinds of ways and take things into their own hands, beyond the developers will?
For GitHub it's maybe not a great look. If there was content in the readme that they felt violated their ToS, fair enough, I guess. They aren't obliged to publish that.
- lmeyerov 5y agoYes agreed.. except move from relying exclusively on just MS npm employees for shepherding OSS packages to the much larger JS community, and esp those tied to any specific project. MS is richer stewardship than when npm was a struggling VC funded company, but still a clearly struggling community moderation model, esp for OSS. I'm skeptical of cryptocurrency but do like DAO style innovations (with no $ involved) because of this kind of issue. Many stepping stones to get there though and too many unknowns to go whole hog with an overly ambitious schemes. But seems inevitable to divest & decentralize from MS here. Something like community moderation has small components that can be iterated on for pushing to a community model vs current overwhelmed & overall inappropriate Microsoft moderation team model.
