This is my first open source project, apart from tiny bits of code that no one ever paid any attention to. Maybe I don’t know how to do open source properly, maybe I made a mistake here. Let’s find out.

Many years ago I was building ROMs for one of the Sony lines of phones on XDA. I saw an interesting feature that had been ported form another Sony line into yet another line. I grabbed the code (only have this guys copyright no GPL mentioned), found the original Sony code (GPL’d) brought it in and attributed both Sony and the porter. I tagged the author of that code in my post on XDA and they lost their shit very publicly that I stole their code - even though it was GPL’d in the Sony repo and they had not kept the GPL intact.
Even if you fully attribute code, some people still don’t get FOSS
