You aren't credited on Awoo's readme either
Oh shi.. I'm about to have serious talk with Huntereb then
Waaaait, what is this?

That isn't in the readme or any file in the repo. That is from the git history, which I flattened. Distributing the source code outside of git removes that. The license compels distribution of source code, not git metadata. Nothing was stolen, you just aren't happy that the repo was flattened I guess?
It's a part of repo since commits are part of repo with history. It's just an automation of giving credits provided by GitHub. Please don't tell me that you didn't know that. BTW readme file is not a part of source code as well but somehow you paid attention on what is written in there.
If I'm happy on unhappy doesn't make sense, I'm personally good with this.
Just curious. What was your motivation? Why did you copy-pasted it instead of clicking 'fork' button? Who are eligible to be a part of tinleaf team?
You're the one who don't understand Open Source project licensing. This project is licensed under the GPLv3 license, which requires credits, states and document every changes made to the original source code and to use the same license (Which you are not, btw, since you are using Ms-PL) if any part of the source code is used.Its an open source project. Nothing is stolen, perhaps you do not understand how open source licenses work.

You are very confused. Open source licenses require distribution of source, not the git history itself. I did not do a proper fork because a) I do not have to, to comply with the licenses b) I do not want any links on my github to a furry meme repo. c) I do not want any of awoo's history in the repo because its full of cancer. The purpose of the project was a clean break from Awoo, which means wiping the history.
Yeah, after you last reply I looked in your repo and now I really confused.
So, let's walk thru it one more time with more details: I contributed to GPLv3 project on GPLv3 terms. Somehow results of my work appears on your application that is now uses incompatible with GPLv3 'Microsoft Public License (Ms-PL)', doesn't include any reference to original authors.
That's what I call 'clearly stolen'. You literally took a part that is GPLv3 and instead of throwing it away as a fruit of a poisoned tree you're trying to prove that it's legal. Sounds a bit weird to me =)
Anyway, want to users be informed. And as I said I'm fine with it as long as Hubntereb/Behemoth are fine with it.
I recommend that you do some more research on how open source licenses work, and I do not mean that in a snarky way. Especially how mixing licenses works. Licenses are legal contracts, and they can be very nuanced. To your credit, few people truly understand them.
Free software is free software, not software that is only free if it is used in a way you agree with.
I did some research and can't figure out how did you move license from GPLv3 to MS-PL %)
IDK, maybe this would help: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#ms-pl
Please don't think that you have right to do with GPLv3 code the same things that people do wit MIT or BSD ones. It's different
You are confused, I did not relicense GPL code to MS-PL. I wrote a library in MS-PL. All modifications I made to awoo's code is indeed still GPLv3. The library code I added is MS-PL. Library code is not required to be compatible, as GPL allows you to link to non-free libraries.
Aaah, so you removed all the notices about GPLv3 from there before making changes, didn't add any references to the original project, authors, licenses and added a license to your library in the root of the project to make GitHub think that the entire project is under MS-PL while it's not.
Yes, makes sense.
All code I write is under MS-PL. The real scandal there was awoo making github think it was a GPL project, when 99% of the code was MIT. Truth be told, it's really a MIT project.
However, you did point out one thing that was correct: I had forgot to add the Awoo GPLv3 license. That was an oversight and not intentional, and I have just added it to the repo. Thank you for pointing it out. And that is all the attribution that I am required to give.
Even having different point of view I'm glad we made these things clear.
That said, feel free to submit a PR that adds a translation credits file, or some sort of comment somewhere in the code that you feel adequately credits your work. My goal here was not to discredit or offend you. I just do not want any of awoo's history in the repo.

Unironically Awoo Installer has been faster for me over Wi-Fi with boost mode enabled than Goldleaf's shitty, buggy (usbcomms issues probably) USB implementation. We get 40MBps over ethernet with net installations by the way. Only 40 because we're maxing out our SD controllers.
Not meant to start an argument or something, I'm just saying net installs have a world of their own benefits over USB installs, even if you don't ditch your built-in wireless module to do them. Try it!!
