The fact that Ernest commented on this two months ago and then didn’t fix the issue is saddening. I understand that everyone is busy, but crediting people isn’t a big ask.
It really is ridiculous. It’s such a small ask to give credit where it’s due.
perhaps they need a reminder or something. Violating Licenses is really bad.
I’ve raised this in the matrix chat and have flagged this again to Ernest. I know initially about 2 months ago when the exodus happened that he was scrambling around trying to keep the server running as everyone joined.
Over the last few weeks he’s be busy with a flood of PRs with either fixes, new features or support for the upcoming API integration.
I had no idea this ticket existed (mostly because there’s been almost 1000 tickets submitted and I’ve been working on improvements)
Hopefully he can have a look at this and fix these issues soon, I seriously don’t think this was done maliciously, but I’ll do what I can to raise it (I have minimal exposure to open source licensing so I don’t want to touch these files myself)
I understood some of those words.
I remember raddle users spreading FUD before when people started to move here from Reddit. Surely if this is a thing the raddle site admin has spoken to the Kbin creators about this?
I also was almost dismissing it as “who let raddle out of the box again”, but this is indeed a valid complaint, which even is easy enough for kbin to become compliant - so I also don’t see why they didn’t do it immediately when it was pointed out.

Huh strange I don’t see any link in the OP? Having read your link it sounds like Ernest is aware and is dealing with it?
Sounds like raddle looking for drama again to me.

If Ernest is aware and has spoken to the raddle admin why has a raddle user taken it upon themselves to create a brand new account just to post this? I know if my users were doing this and the crap before they wouldn’t be users on my site for long.
I’m not saying Ernest has or hasn’t done something I just think raddle being a toxic shit hole will do anything they can to twist everything to create pointless drama

This was 2 months ago with absolutely nothing happening when there really isn’t much required.
I get this is a legitimate complaint but why did no one just open a pull request and fix the issue?
I can’t speak for the other contributors but there’s been almost 1000 tickets in the space of 2-3 months. I’ve been fairly busy fixing bugs and trying to improve the UI. I’ve flagged it to ernest and hopefully this gets resolved soon so we can keep everyone happy 🦙

If that’s the attitude, be hostile and have no empathy for someone who outright says it’s his fault but who’s also overworked, then why not sue? Seems that’s the attitude you’re projecting.
I’d like to highlight that there’s been a recent PR that’s added the licensing to several files
Heard they stole it from a trans woman. Wouldn’t that make the kbin dev transphobic?
Edit: Wow a lot of transphobes already downvoting ne
Only in the same way that stealing code from a PoC would make me racist, stealing code from a Jew would make me anti-semitic or stealing code from a woman would make me sexist.
Since, without proof of any of that you’re just making shit up I’m going to go with the reason that your post is being downvoted is that ITS JUST FUCKING STUPID.
Actually had to re-read old mates comment above us to see if I was missing satire / sarcasm. Like no way anyone legitimately thinks like this? 🤯
I’ve got some unfortunate news for you
Please don’t derail the thread with this accusation, you’re not helping. Stick to the topic at hand (the license being willfully violated) and don’t speculate.
Doing something shitty to a trans person is only transphobia when you’re doing it because they’re trans, yet you’ve provided no substantive evidence for this claim. It also does not align with what Ernest has said in this thread and others. Saying shit like this without evidence is trashy and irresponsible and THAT is why you’re being down voted. Do better.
No, it wouldn’t.
How would you know? What if the kbin dev purposely stole the code because he hated trans people?
That wasn’t your question.
That’s not how transphobia works. That’s straight up US conservative victim complex type of framing.
K
You’re getting downvoted because you’re spouting rubbish without actually providing any evidence, not because people are “transphobic”.
Not every unfortunate action that happens to trans people can be attributed to people being “transphobic”, like it’s a coordinated attack
Why would you know personal details about anyone in GitHub?
Why would you seek to “find out”? It’s personal, GitHub is for code
Ask them, not me. I found it through the raddle link at the top comment.
But you amplified that info with your comment, seems odd to do so
Probably putting out another strawman argument to make the situation much worse than it actually it. Making it go from a scenario where licensing wasn’t followed correctly to a proposed new outrage where hard work from stolen from a trans person. Pathetic
Why did you bold? The text was already legible
