I have been so happy with the amazing efforts this platform offers to newbies like me who have fallen in love with this amazing language. I learn well by doing so I have been implementing classical ML algorithms from scratch in Julia and learning how the language works on the fly. My latest projec…

Well, there are ‘risks’… Arguably, your code is not really yours as it was a collective effort and no warning was published on your side about not publishing it. If you want credit, contact the person that published it and try to solve it that way. Welcome to free software.

Don’t let it get you down. Keep doing your thing. Anyone who serially takes code from public domain and does not attribute authorship will eventually gain a reputation in that public. lve seen it happen in other communities.

For me it’s even less about the legal license and stuff like but more about the standards within the community. I would have loved to jump on a Julia project with someone more experienced since I barely know my way around Julia (and programming) plus it’s not like K-means is my algorithm. It’s jus…

Don’t let it disturb you too much. It was bad manners yet positive as the code might have gotten lost. You can still get credit. Next time, make a repository and dump all code there (with a license of your choice). In this way, you’re covered. I stopped caring about personal credit long time ago as …

I appreciate your understanding and willingness to let bygones be bygones. That said, I’d urge folks to adhere to common standards of courtesy, and next time to discuss such moves with the major participants before publishing the code. It takes very little time, shows due respect for their work, an…

I would be interested in learning which package did this, so a link to the relevant commit/PR would be appreciated.

Repo was taken down immediately after I said I wasn’t cool with it.

I asked for help optimizing my Julia code, now it's someone's package?

Sorry, I didn’t remember correctly. Here is the post I got the wrong impression: Copyright issues for code excerpts - #10 by StefanKarpinski
