documind

Your initial commit makes it look like you wrote all the code. https://github.com/DocumindHQ/documind/commit/d91121739df038... This is because you copied and uploaded the code instead of forking. You could do a lot by restoring attribution. Your history would look the same as https://github.com/getomni-ai/zerox/commits/main/ and diverge from where you forked. People are getting upset because this is not a nice thing to do. Attribution is significant. No one would care if you replaced all the names with the new ones in a fork because they would see commits that do that.

Hey Tammilore. I see your updates to the README and it's appreciated. And I don't mind people building on top of zerox of course, that's why it's open source. I flagged this because it was originally passed off as your own work. Although general best practice here would be to fork the repo, that way you could make updates, and always pull in upstream changes as we roll them out. It seems like your implementation [1] could have very easily just pulled in the npm package. [1] https://github.com/DocumindHQ/documind/blob/main/extractor/s... (Also very minor nit, you don't need an await on the `generateMarkdownDocument` function)

Your license is copied verbatim, as your license requires https://github.com/getomni-ai/zerox/blob/main/LICENSE https://github.com/DocumindHQ/documind/blob/main/core/LICENS... They fulfilled the 1 requirement you asked of them.

Saw a ShowHN post [0] today about an open source document extractor tool. I thought the workflow sounded pretty similar to our library, and only to realize it's a direct rip of Zerox [1]. Looking through the code: 1. They removed the MIT License and added AGPL. 2. It's not a fork, they purposefully copied the code and did a find/replace to swap out Zerox for their name. 3. There is no attribution or mention of the original library. 4. They are trying to market this as a competitive product. If you inspect the source code, it's a verbatim copy. They literally just renamed the `ZeroxOutput` to `DocumindOutput` [2][3]. I recognize that plenty of people are using Zerox within commercial products, but to copy to copy the code and pitch it as your own open source product is pretty fraudulent. Especially slapping a copyleft license on it. [0] ht

Disappointed to see this is an exact rip of our open source tool zerox [1]. With no attribution. They also took the MIT License and changed it out for an AGPL. If you inspect the source code, it's a verbatim copy. They literally just renamed the ZeroxOutput to DocumindOutput [2][3] [1] https://github.com/getomni-ai/zerox [2] https://github.com/DocumindHQ/documind/blob/main/core/src/ty... [3] https://github.com/getomni-ai/zerox/blob/main/node-zerox/src...

Not without chaning the code (should be easy though) https://github.com/DocumindHQ/documind/blob/d91121739df03867...
