This is great, thanks for posting.

Ha ha ha, surely not, it's too hilarious. Must be a top tier troll :)

> Also, Spotify is a major partner of Spotify

Can't argue with that

> How about simply renaming curl to zurl so that you end up at the very bottom of the list and hand over the case to the next dependency in alphabetical order?

Found this gem in the comments of the first one:

A city in Oklahoma threatened to call the FBI over an Apache error message... and sent the threat to CentOS.

They no longer use that as a file prefix, rather.

that one's amusing, but this one, in a git repo, is :chefs_kiss:

Maybe we should call them, to say we "averted our eyes, m'lord"?

Yes, this list seems like a catalogue of easy targets more than anything else.

I think that if people are upset their name is up on a list clearly meant to shame them for being stupid, then contacting the author to say "ok I understand now, can you please remove us from that list" will definitely get them removed.

But I suspect if someone is the kind of person to email a tool author because of what an unrelated tool user is doing, they're probably going to be quite chuffed there's a tangible outcome they can point at and say "see, I fixed the issue"
