PyLova's AGPL license displays the copyright notice for PieFed, including claiming the program as copyright by Rimu Atkinson. Rimu, I think legally speaking, you stole your own code from yourself. 😂
I assume PyLova’s dev were unsatisfied with PieFed that they forked it. Whether the dissatisfaction was with the code or the dev team I don’t know. It may have contributed to their apparently emotional “we are happy to take from you but not happy to let you take from us” response.
That said, sounds like Rimu did not verify with PyLova devs whether the third party conveyed their thoughts accurately. I don’t blame him; it is a task that takes both emotional and physical efforts. Just perhaps it could have been resolved in a more beneficial way to both parties, e.g. they might have been satisfied if attribution are added to the files themselves.
Rimu kicked and banned the pylove dev, refusing to speak to them or let them speak.
Rimu was also upset his attempt at taking the code without contribution failed at first.
Hahaha I guess so
