> also to anyone reading this. DONT POST any code to Zig issue tracker. post it to your own repo, and link to it if need be. any code you post to the tracker becomes MIT license, which I learned the hard way. Any insight on this? How can this possibly be true?

Is this surprising? I haven't checked the zig license, but if it's MIT I'd expect any code contributed to the repository to be MIT by extension

Meh, weird accusation from a known bad-faith troll with a history of misrepresenting facts (i.e. lying) to make weird accusations and more sockpuppets on the internet than I have socks. My guess it's probably something minor, like copying a few lines of trivial code or the like, at most. (Not involved or affiliated with Zig at all, just observed this person's behaviour over a period of many years).

    To be honest I kind of regret my previous comment as I don't really want to bring up heaps of drama here, and also I can't be bothered to go looking for all sorts of links (constantly having GitHub accounts banned means its actually quite hard to do that unless you keep links around, which I don't; they always have the same profile picture so it's easy to spot). OTOH, it's also some important context I guess... But to give one example out of several, at one point they strategically edited and deleted some comments on a small repo of mine (from before GitHub showed you the edit history) when I announced my (completely unrelated) full-time open-source project, to make me seem an asshole to try and get "revenge" for their perceived slight of denying a pseudo feature request ("pseudo" because they were spamming the same kind of feature request to hundreds, if not thousands, of repos). I've seen this type of thing a few time with this person: an accusation that makes you go "oh wow!" and then you look in to things and it turns out it's either a spectacular exaggeration or outright misrepresentation (i.e. lying). Maybe they're right this time, but I can't even be bothered to look in to it any more.

  This is the context that the parent poster is referring to. https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/14172#issuecomment-1645400741 https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/14172#issuecomment-164... Yes, it's petty stuff.
