@inkican The tea was spilt a year ago, here: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/196

Ernest has "solved" the issue by adding attribution to the files I pointed out, however this came after two months of inaction, and after I embarrassed him in front of a prospective sponsor: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/937.

There is unattributed code that I wrote remaining in Kbin, because Ernest didn't want to use the solution I suggested in the linked issue. Here's one example:
https://github.com/ernestwisniewski/kbin/blob/91ea0440d6a0ae3e29909d88a05acba26e471569/src/Kbin/Image/ImageFileNameGet.php

@inkican Last year, Ernest was applying for sponsorships left and right, and received tons of donations. Since then, he's not worked on Kbin much. Given what he did to me, you can imagine my total lack of surprise that he would simply disappear once he'd made a sizable amount of money from the whole ordeal.

@inkican I don't care to pursue the issue further (and have stated as much), but I think it's only fair to point out he lied about fulfilling his obligations under the extremely permissive Zlib licence, and I can only assume it's because he thought I wouldn't notice.

If you want "threadiverse" software, Mbin is the one to use.
