Hi, I'm not big Python user but like to keep a eye on this mailing list as there are a few subjects that can be applied to other languages and just for general interest (Yes, I'm a geek!!! lol)
This message thread has really shocked me: I've been a programmer for some thirty years and yes in the past I've had code/intellectual property stolen mainly by corporate bodies (well more like little upstart twats that cannot come up with ideas for themselves, acting in the name of a company.) I've never been able to do anything about it, proving that code and/or an idea has been stolen is not a simple thing to do... But surely in this case, as the project is so visibly the intellectual property of Luke that Risinger and his sheep are standing on the edge of a very large and loose cliff! > To: python-list@python.org > From: tjre...@udel.edu > Subject: Re: Open Source: you're doing it wrong - the Pyjamas hijack > Date: Tue, 8 May 2012 21:35:22 -0400 > > On 5/8/2012 5:47 PM, Terry Reedy wrote: > > > From what others have posted, it has a new code repository (that being > > the ostensible reason for the fork), project site, and mailing list -- > > the latter two incompetently.
