It reads to me like English isn't his first language. Either way the complexities of open source licensing are something a lot of people don't understand.

- harmonics 5mo agoNo, you're simply being a bigoted ass. I am not surprised that your comments are not dead, as it's been perfectly acceptable to insinuate various things about certain groups of people here, or even straight up write horrible things about them, based on nothing but their surface characteristics. As long as you're careful to avoid some "protected" groups, that is. Even the tired excuse of "I am just asking questions" is there, slightly modified. I consulted Jia Tan on his opinion of this situation, but he is yet to respond. In Mandarin Chinese, of course.

- matsemann 5mo agoAs stated multiple times in the linked discussion: the licensing of the open source code is not the issue. It's the use of the trademark, and making their fork look like an officially endorsed one.
- minimaxir 5mo agoAnd the fork author was given a oppertunity to remediate without further drama. Instead, the fork author doubled down, where the possible reasons for that behavior are hard to interpret in good faith.
- kube-system 5mo agoYes, one of the complexities of open source licensing that people do not understand is that most copyright licenses assign only copyright and that copyright is a distinct and different concept than patents and trademarks.
- hacker161 5mo agoIronic this comment reads like you didn’t even grok the basics of the issue if you think open source licensing is the source of confusion.
