The /source directory in his repo is 90% our code. But look, I'm not mad he is using our project, it's open source after all. I'm happy it is and people can do

The /source directory in his repo is 90% our code.
But look, I'm not mad he is using our project, it's open source after all. I'm happy it is and people can do whatever with the code.
What I'm exposing here is an attempt at making people believe he is the author of said code. Not someone who took 90% of a project and is building something with it, but that he wrote the entirety of the code.
- ricardobeat 3y agoThis a comparison of the src folders using Meld: https://postimg.cc/sM2HDP7G https://postimg.cc/sM2HDP7G In the scrollbars on the right, blue is modified, green is new, black is equal. Only a handful of hooks, helpers and simple components are still the same. 90% sounds quite far from reality. Not that I think the lack of credit given to the original project isn’t scummy, but… it’s just someone being an asshole, not much you can do about that.
- dun44 3y agoHave you verified that those changes are not something trivial like formatting?
- AndreVitorio 3y agoAlso have into account at what point the code was merged. We have made changes to our code base, and he probably did as well. I'm not mad he is using the code, my problem is with removing credits and claiming the work as his own. Basically doing stuff like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/developersIndia/comments/14m3evc/i_built_a_free_open_source_cms_wysiyg_editor_with/ https://www.reddit.com/r/developersIndia/comments/14m3evc/i_... The video is him basically showing our CMS with the logos swapped.
- hoofhearted 3y agoYes, I have verified that the changes aren’t trivial. Our project includes near 100% test coverage, and enterprise features that any serious development shop will require. ISO27000/27001 compliance is a big start in non trivial changes.
