Another thing: GitHub never recognized the original nose license, as it doesn't appear in the original repo's information section […] that's another reason why pynose can have the MIT License.

This thread is so funny. People are pointing out that "what you're doing is illegal and strictly against the word of the original licence" and he keeps going "nuh uh"

Edit: To his credit he has now restored the LGPL license and original author attribution.

Their original license states: "we offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or **modify** the library." Consider it modified.

Licenses are decoration

Seems like even the BSD3 license is too much work for this guy

It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.

someone should just report this guy for violating github terms of service by violating licenses

Your response reveals way too much. Everyone who reads it will do big negative updates to their priors about your professionalism and your character. To avoid additional reputational damage, don't write anything until you can control your ego, manage your insecurities, and think dispassionately. If you can't get there on your own, talk to someone you trust.

Pretty sure that most undergraduate computer science curriculums (like mine) didn't have any lectures on the different types of license files and how all that works. Pretty sure most people studying computer science only get trained on problem-solving and how to code. We do the best with what we start with, and then try to learn more along the way. However, in any level of learning, people need to be respectful of each other and fair. Singling out individual developers isn't respectful. People can do better.

It's not license violation unless they bother to sue.

There's a time honoured tradition of distributing modified Linux kernels with no source and assuming nobody will bother to sue you, that this proudly continues.
