What a weird, overly-confrontational message from the fork's author! No need to call someone publishing work for free lazy, ignorant, not the sharpest tool in the shed etc. This is the pointless drama that discourages people from making their code open-source in the first place. Plus, the original repository isn't even licensed https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome . So magnolia1234 probably forked it illegally after copying the name (although it seems like iamadamdev doesn't mind too much). If there's a basically what amounts to a harassment/spam campaign against iamadamdev on his own repo, no wonder he deletes irrelevant issues to avoid stress.

It was MIT licensed until April 2020: https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome/commit/b84c534180ab1042011836b5b9f38abacd2d2616 https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome/commit/... I don't know exactly when they forked, from the issue it looks like November 2020, so the portion of code that was unlicensed might just be their own contributions? Edit: from a first glance there are a lot of commits in between from different authors, and I don't want to track all of those down, so I'd say it's probably forked illegaly. Edit2: looking at the history of the fork, it looks like it was actually forked earlier than when this issue was posted. $ git log --after -after="2020-04-01" --author='^(?!magnolia1234).*$' --perl-regexp commit af333918e66c6f79e713b676d766e271f6d9781f Author: [redacted] Date: Sat Nov 6 07:44:47 2021 +0000 Add allowlist for BPC extension (macOS) commit a7210ea9816d4be70e094c0e67af8aa4cba1687b Author: Dark Side <darksideofeurope@gmail.com> Date: Tue Dec 8 18:48:00 2020 +0000 Add Madsack Mediengruppe (Germany)

  Interesting! Ok, so my assumption about the fork being illegal probably doesn’t stand, but still, the fork’s author should chill out with the personal attacks
