Gosh, how long did it take you to type that long reply explaining you're too busy to copy a license file over to kbin? It takes less than a minute to do. Copy the file. Commit. That's it.
It took me from 4 to 6 minutes, I can't determine exactly. I think this is about more than just copying and committing a file - one needs to label specific files or sections of the code. I'm not sure how exactly this should look, so I'm waiting for a consultation.
Sending a tinsy-winsy appreciation to how you handle this dialog. Smooth. ๐ฉ
People sitting on their ass telling others what they should do because "it only takes a minute" is such a stereotype in FOSS that I didn't think I would see a real one in the wild. Wow.
Yeah while I can understand why OP would be grumpy, their replies are coming off pretty poorly
What action do you think OP should be taking? Legal action? I don't see how criticizing OP for "sitting on their ass" is really a fair criticism.
OP should have been standing when telling others what to do. It takes only a second, and it's better for their figure. Stand up, commit. That's it.
You realize this is one human being managing this whole situation without getting paid? Being nice enough to share a cool, if imperfect, piece of software for all to use. Show some respect, damn. Kbin has exploded in the the past months, leading to a lot of exposure and thus also suddenly an onslaught of things to fix. License errors definitely aren't great, but you can't fix everything at once.
