I'm that person, but that's not exactly what I did.
Wahoo, a framework I had built, became the base for the then, new Oh My Fish.
I, myself, committed[1] it into the Oh My Fish repository, effectively replacing everything but the name. This was a huge change.
Regrettably, I didn't include a migration strategy, and ended up breaking other things down the line because of that. This and poor communication on my part, eventually led to a fallout with the other maintainer and I exited the project. So, I asked them to revert my changes or provide full attribution.
Reverting my changes would've made no sense at that point, and I realize that.
Attribution was left as "Copyright (c) 2015, Oh My Fish!". That didn't do it for me. My name was not anywhere. Ironically, my name is now almost everywhere Oh My Fish is brought up.
Filling a DMCA notice was my careless reaction to the situation. I know that I could've handled it better. I wasn't at my best.
