Ask HN: Ethics on Deleting Git History
6 by unboxingelf | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I have a popular public repository on Github under an AGPL-3.0 license. Recently I discovered a number of instances where the repository was cloned, git history was blown away, and the source is hosted under a different account and repository name. In most cases the license is preserved, but I’m curious the ethics of not forking and rewriting history such that there is zero link to the original work.
