It's my content, not their's. A Proton fan boy who's not a big fan of freedom of speech. Perhaps you've been touching too much grass.

And worthy of what place exactly? Is there some sort of ranking hierarchy/ value system that only exists in some place I'm unaware of?

You're missing the point.

HIDIZS are shady. How shady? They've just hidden their business address on their website. Why? They're attempting to commit fraud.

To the OP: How did you find this article?

Hey @dang, I’ll reply to your comment here, considering you seem to have blocked replying on your sticking comment…

You can have as many rules and guidelines as you like, but you can’t go around stamping on people’s right to free speech, just because you don’t like them, especially when their comments aren’t offensive.

Also, referring to other people’s comments as “cheap”, as if you somehow feel your opinion of others and the way they express themselves is somehow more authoritative than say, UN charter on Human Rights (the right to freedom of expression) gives me the impression you have little respect for others.

“We want the later, not the former”. Ever heard the expression “‘I want’, never gets”? You appear to suffer from what I refer to as a “deluded sense of entitlement”. You have no right to try to censor people, or bully them, just because that’s what “we want”.

I’ve been HN reader for quite a while. I enjoy the community, and the debate, it’s not a stinking cesspit like Reddit, but your comments are a step too far.

I know the title references the code’s age, but I didn’t post it because of that. I was busy reading the full 3 part article, and found it fascinating.

Looking at the Apache 2 license, it seems like they want to take ownership of your trademark and monetise it. Otherwise they would simply fork it and get on with making their changes. I would point them to the license and ask them what issues they have with it. Expecting you to simply give them control over your copyrighted work is outrageous, especially if you didn’t do it on company time. It’s probably best to get a lawyer to look at your employment contract if it’s unclear how far they think their control and ownership extend.
