- zaphirplane 3y agoThe maintainer came out swinging and backed the guy that opened the issue. Doesn’t sound like one person is the bad apple
- superkuh 3y agoTrue enough. It was sort of a LoTR Wormtongue and King Theoden situation. While Tobin was around Moonchild made some terrible choices. It's much better now.
- squigz 3y agoThat is good to hear, but still, as another responder pointed out, the primary maintainer didn't handle things much better - although if he had, funnily enough, at least one of the incidents would've been resolved with a lot less reputational damage Also, I find it slightly amusing how often they bring up the legal aspect of these licenses. They're not wrong, of course, but are they really going to hire lawyers to go after someone like Feodor? At most maybe they'll get it removed from Github and other platforms that care to respond to such requests? > You think trademark law is a joke? Personally, yes :)
- squigz 3y agoAlso, completely unrelated, but I recognize you from various FOSS IRC channels :) Hello!
