A Question About Ethical Considerations when Contributing

My personal view

  1. If I don’t want ppl to use my code, I wouldn’t post it publicly on the internet
    (Ofcourse respect open source licenses …)
  2. it’s always good practice to acknowledge sources …
  3. If I’m working on a new package & post a question about it on discourse, I’d be annoyed if someone used it to build a competing package wo trying to cooperate w me
    I asked for help optimizing my Julia code, now it's someone's package?
