So, you essentially took my project ( https://github.com/rubberduck-ai/rubberduck-vscode ), and instead of contributing to it or forking it, you recommitted all the code under your own name, with a few small tweaks. To be fair, I saw that you give credit, but it's kind of disappointing still given that prob 98% of the project is the work of the Rubberduck contributors. I know Rubberduck is not that active any more, b…

Shout out to OP for ModelFusion. Probably one of the better ways to use LLMs instead of just integrating the OAI API and reinventing the rest of the wheel.

Handles lots of corner cases and lets you swap in other models easily.

They should include the original copyright notice in their version of the software according to your license.

I am genuinely curious to know, what is your expectation here? He gave you credit in Github. He called it forever "indebted", which IMO is too much. You put out code under MIT license. MIT license means anyone can take the copy and fork it.

Why are you disappointed? Are you disappointed because a person of Indian origin did it better than you Or are you disappointed that because you wanted all fame but he took your code fork (still valid under MIT license) and did a better marketing than you with wrapper.

If you don't want people to use your use, put behind paywall. It is not difficult to understand.

Considering both repositories are on Github, actually forking it instead of re-commiting it all as 'init commit' would be a good start.

As you said, nothing compels srikanth235 to do this though, but it's a generally more respectable (acceptable?) way to continue someone elses work as a new project.

Also not sure why you had to bring the race of srikanth235 into it.
