Right. So Microsoft should just have a copy of this LICENSE file somewhere? Can't we just open a PR to add it to the repo? Did the author do that and did Microsoft decline the PR?
Feels like Microsoft was not necessarily trying to steal work (they link the original project in their README).
- Conan_Kudo 2y agoIt needs to be present in the headers of each file that they took from. Attribution matters and in mixed projects you need that clarification at the file level.
- palata 2y agoDoes the MIT licence text say that? I don't understand it like this. I understand that a copy of the licence should be preserved, not that the licence should be copied into source files.
- aksss 2y agoI think the fork needs to preserve the LICENSE file in the repo and in distributed code (e.g. packages), right? But not replicated as a file header in every blessed file in the repo.
- johnisgood 2y agoI think as a bare minimum, they should have kept the original LICENSE, and add theirs on top or something.
