I think the developer doing this is: https://github.com/obaraelijah https://github.com/obaraelijah And it looks like he's done the exact same with a pen-testing project called Kraken: https://github.com/myOmikron/kraken-project https://github.com/myOmikron/kraken-project Probably trying to pad out his Github for freelancing.

Yeah. I'm sure it's for something like that.

Looks like he's also made everything non-public. Way too much bad publicity, so he'll probably do it again under a different organization. Cause now when someone searches for this "Sahomey Technologies" they find out he's blatantly copying github repos to pad his business. On a side note, this person has 132 repos on his profile. They're probably trying to game the whole thing to make it seem like they have an active Github profile.

  Let's hope Elijah Samson, AKA obaraelijah, AKA elly sam, AKA Sahomey Technologies, AKA Sahomey-Technologies will learn from this.

    Oh wow, looks like he's also published it to the rust package repository. The rabbit-hole deepens. https://crates.io/crates/sahomedb/0.2.1 https://crates.io/crates/sahomedb/0.2.1 Also bragging about it on Medium: https://medium.com/@ellysam/introducing-sahomedb-a-high-performance-embedded-vector-database-5a01cace397e https://medium.com/@ellysam/introducing-sahomedb-a-high-perf... Also another pseudonym or his "team": https://medium.com/@samowvance10/the-purpose-of-my-project-an-online-auction-platform-is-to-provide-a-dynamic-and-user-friendly-5237527b352 https://medium.com/@samowvance10/the-purpose-of-my-project-a... At least searching for some of these entries links back to this HN post.

      Yeah, it's so weird (and shameless).

I laughed a little at "Open Source Enthusiast". Seems like he's enthusiastic for the wrong reasons, and missing the point of open source
