Since ~2003, when my coding skills were good enough to meaningfully contribute to FOSS projects, I have released code I’ve written for over a hundred projects.

Their licenses usually have an attribution clause (“if you use this, mention that in your project or product”).

A relatively simple request that is easily followed and usually honoured.

Now you get your code from an accountability arbitrage machine and you feel attacked when we don’t like you stealing from us?
