Welp, the message you’ve cross-posted was since edited to include
Can somebody elaborate on this? How could somebody stealing their code be a problem?
Not sure about this particular case as the author didn’t elaborate, but sometimes suckers sell binaries. Also, they’ve mentioned assets that may be non-commercial or require naming the original author which some forks may choose to ignore.
