Earlier quoted context omitted.

Indeed: @zigbook changed the title "Fix license violations" "Im mad because you wrote code similiar to mine >:(" 3 minutes ago ( https://github.com/zigbook/zigbook/pull/43 )

Wow. It's also an extremely reasonable pull request, here's the only commit: https://github.com/zigbook/zigbook/compare/main...SuperAugus...

I could sort of understand it if the PR used all sorts of judgemental/accusatory language or something. But it doesn't; it's straight-forward and factual. Outright bizarre behaviour.

Grifter or not, editing user comments to make it look like they're saying something they're not isn't okay.

Edit: It appears that the repo is gone? User removed it or GitHub?

zigbook edited a 3rd party comment to say "I’m autistic and sperging out over stuff on the internet that doesn’t actually matter. Don’t mind me." Just your run off the mill AI grifter.

It's addressed in the post. MIT license. Zigbook is not honoring the attribution requirement. A PR to change that was closed and obfuscated.

> Zigbook is not honoring the attribution requirement It's crazy how many people treat MIT as if it were public domain.

This probably depends on country, but AFAIK in most of europe, even in public domain, the „you can’t pass another’s work as your own” part of copyright is still active and doesn’t expire.
