sage

Steven Penny had the opportunity to explain his doings: https://github.com/svnpenn/sage/issues/2 https://github.com/svnpenn/sage/issues/3 https://github.com/svnpenn/sage/issues/4 but choose not to say more than claiming to be the sole developer of apt-cyg. This apt-cyg project has a history back to 2005, released under GPL by Stephen Jungels (according to the original code) and Stephen is also the owner of the now DCMA:ed GitHub repo. https://github.com/transcode-open?tab=repositories When apt-cyg moved from Google Code to GitHub it seems that the license changed from GPL to MIT, most likely a move by Stephen Jungels. So how can Steven Penny claim rights over apt-cyg? Maybe he did a complete rewrite of the code? One can only guess at this stage. If he did, feel free to do so, the code was MIT, improve, rewrite, re-label and try to market

Now he's removing and renaming the issues I created regarding this: https://github.com/svnpenn/sage/issues/5

So, someone mentioned to me that Steven Penny is trying to claim the ownership of code which he did not write and code that's released under the MIT license. So what did he do? 1. Renamed apt-cyg to sage (See commits on the 24th of January https://github.com/svnpenn/sage/commits/master) 2. Filed a DMCA takedown on the original repository https://github.com/github/dmca/commit/28ceb5f8dd70b1a7f92d3f9fae053f039b2883c4 There's a counter-DMCA takedown: https://github.com/github/dmca/commit/e74005839a278219774a8c53fd57c6574b607eb0 The original source on Google Code: https://apt-cyg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/apt-cyg So, let's get this to the top so the whole world can see what a major arsehole Steven Penny is.
