My experience with HN is comments from out-of-touch engineers and me-too startup folks circle jerking with themselves. Can't say they're any better than the random discourse on social media.

    Yea, the comments there are just, wrong.

    People claiming since the repo wasn't public the MIT license didn't matter. But since admins contributed under that license, it 100% matters.

    No reason to wait for the dust to settle. Roman noticed a removal of an MIT license he contributed to, also noticed the inclusion of user logging, so he released MIT work he contributed to. He's in the right.

    It's a shame.
