Oh no, someone revived #nose. Seriously, why people can't let the dead rest?!
@mgorny They apparently also decided to say the project is now MIT-licensed (nose was LGPL) and they fail to understand that's impossible. https://github.com/mdmintz/pynose/issues/16
@hroncok, sigh. Also, I see PyPI's done everything not to provide a generic contact to report a copyright violation.
@hroncok, well, started with https://discuss.python.org/t/how-to-report-copyright-violations-to-pypi/57466.
@hroncok @mgorny I wonder what JP and @kumarvibe think about this
@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.
Thank you @kumarvibe for being a respectful human being in https://github.com/mdmintz/pynose/issues/16#issuecomment-2217117154 -- the tone of the discussion horrifies me.
@hroncok @kumarvibe The level of ignorance of this developer is beyond absurd.
@hroncok @kumarvibe what a bedtime story
