So is this accepted practice in Ruby circles? It seems pretty bogus to me.
why?
It seems pretty crap to just unilaterally make decisions regarding someone else's code.
I'd agree with that statement - however I really don't feel that that happened here. I guy did they a favor, and wanted to give them ownership over it. Im sure he would have removed it if requested.
Fair enough. Clearly I misunderstood what I was looking at.
Is this good or bad in ruby circles?
Public code is public. As long as the licenses are followed and/or credit is given who cares?
