  1. If you read more closely, the article notes potential malfeasance and cites receipts https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-gemserve... > Later, in August 2017, Andre accused Google Cloud Platform of wholesale copying…

  2. Good point; we should have done that earlier. I've changed the title to that of the page and put quotes around it to indicate that it's disputed. (Submitted title was "Google intern violates the MIT license of Gemstash".) Edit: I also…

  3. It looks like @indirect has admitted he made a mistake, apologized, and closed the issue: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-gemserve...

  4. Could you change the title to something more neutral? E.g. "Gemstash project owner accuses Google intern of violating their MIT license"? From the discussion on the Github issues page it's starting to look like a mistake (last two posts):…

  5. I mean it's a stretch, but most of the lines in the .gitignore from the first commit, compared with Gemstash now, are similar. https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-gemserve... https://github.com/bundler/gemstash/blob/master/.…

  6. If you look at the repo it's not clear at all if there is an issue. It's certainly not a fork of a repo. It actually includes gemstash as a dependency [1] which is a really weird thing to do if it was actually a copy of gemstash.…

  7. This appears to be a wrapper around gemstash, not a fork and relicense. https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-gemserve...

  8. From what I can tell, it looks like Gemstash was used as a reference to build google-cloud-gemserver. There are certainly pattern similarities, but a lot of the codebase has been rewritten. The foundational structure is definitely very…

  9. From what I see, google-cloud-gemserver uses gemstash[1] but does not include its source. Am I somehow misunderstanding the accusation "You forked this repo from the Gemstash repo"? [1]: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-g…
