What Hacker News says
8 sourcesLooks like the GitHub repo added some minimal attribution a few days ago: https://github.com/google/artemis/commit/371aa6df56880643da5...
They've also closed the reporting issue, and pro-actively locked it without any kind of explanation or apology: https://github.com/google/artemis/issues/40#issuecomment-568...
That they didn't even bother to apologise or explain their actions seems pretty shitty. :(

2 points · Open discussionThey've so far ignored the ticket https://github.com/google/artemis/issues/40 to potentially avoid the Streisand Effect (drawing attention to it), yet started work fixing it.
That reads like a coverup as open discourse would have admitted a mea culpa and apology.
I predict they will close the issue without discussion, citing this PR as the fix, potentially associating the fix with a less guilty looking duplicate ticket.
I'd like to be wrong but this is what other commercial projects do when they are called out on a shady practice.

Seems legit

They're trying to cover it up now
