Life happens IMO.
Any reason why the people repeatedly raising the issue don’t just open a PR in Codeberg adding the attribution they deem “correct”? This isn’t a court house, the source control tool is literally an open forum…
Am I missing something here?
You’re shifting the blame. Ernest promised a quick resolution 2 months ago and didn’t follow through. I don’t use kbin, I only use Postmill, so expecting me to clean up his mess isn’t a reasonable ask.
It would take him less time to copy/paste the license file than it took him to write his latest feet-dragging comment here.

I don’t see how I am…

I understand that, and it’s unfortunate that he’s been unable to do so thus far.
That fact does not affect the validity of the original question IMO, especially when the complaint is originating from multiple people who each have equal access to implement the desired change.

I’m not expecting a specific individual to “clean up his mess” really. There are multiple people being vocal about this issue besides yourself, from my perspective any one of these individuals can do this and move on.

While this is true, I think posts like these are also wasting his time needing to crowd control a post discussing how he should be using his personal time. These kind of interactions are really demotivating and draining for any developer or individual
Even if he went and did the change himself as a result of this post, people would still “why did it take you this long” and the like IMO
This is the responsibility of the person who wrote the code. This person is ernest. Life happens, but this is not a significant amount of work to be done and ernest said it would be done “today” 2 months ago.
Since then, over 230 pull requests have been accepted. I had a branch where I was working on this, but a lot of code has changed in the meantime - among other things, ex the markdown implementation has been rewritten and, in fact, some of it is now outdated. Many files will still change and be rewritten before the release.
Before the first release, it will be done properly, and I will probably seek help and consultation from the right people https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/937. Currently, in the project’s readme, I’ve clearly indicated that kbin is inspired by Postmill. Unfortunately, recently I’ve been overwhelmed by some personal matters, which caused me to neglect certain things. Now I’m doing everything to bring kbin to the appropriate state.
“Inspired” is not an honest term. You’re using someone else’s code, so abide by the license they use, or remove their code from your project until you’re ready to follow the license. You started lifting Postmill’s code several years ago now and have had sooo much time to set things right but keep dragging your feet.
This isn’t a school project, you’re gaining financially from someone else’s hard work without abiding by their (incredibly permissive) FOSS license and opening yourself up to serious legal action.
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)
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
