@mgorny They apparently also decided to say the project is now MIT-licensed (nose was LGPL) and they fail to understand that's impossible. github.com/mdmintz/pynose/issu

@hroncok, sigh. Also, I see PyPI's done everything not to provide a generic contact to report a copyright violation.

@kytta @hroncok @mgorny looks like it fixes the otherwise unmaintained nose so it’s compatible with Python 3.13+. Seems like a good thing, no?

@kumarvibe @kytta @hroncok, no, it's not. Nose is dead for years. People *really* need to stop using it, not find another excuse not to do anything. This project is merely a parasite that stole other people's work (who kept fixing nose, to keep projects depending on it working) and then gave it away violating license.

@kumarvibe I've nothing against the premise (like @mgorny), but I find the statements on the LGPL vs MIT licence of the new maintainer very problematic (see issue linked in @hroncok's post)

Oh god. I started a witch hunt. It was not my intention. I don't think they are acting in bad faith, I think they just don't understand the problem, and I don't think attacking them in the ticket helps.

@hroncok @kumarvibe The level of ignorance of this developer is beyond absurd. 🤦‍♂️

@hroncok so people started a bit of digging, and guess what, problems with relicensing (and retaining of copyright notices and attribution) is a common theme with that dude. @mgorny
