Did that applicant claim to be the original author of that implementation? I don't see why it would be an issue otherwise...

- pianoben 4y agoYes, that's exactly what they did and why it was a problem. They represented themselves as the sole author. I want to say that they'd never even sent in a single PR, but this was over 10 years ago and I just heard the story over lunch (the real author told us all about it).
- smcin 4y agoSeriously? You think that if people insinuate plagiarized stuff was theirs but don't say so, that's not a problem per se. I've seen this loads of times. You don't think insinuating is a very bad character signal?
