It seems we hit another level of "progressive" stupidity and that has to be the most "woke" IT univ if they allow such BS to happen. Of course they deserve the ban. To be that stupid, self-centered and despise someone else's work to this extent, then play a victim - you need to be brainwashed by some university professor. Not to mention they confuse being friendly to beginners with tolerance for brainless parasites.
They exploited authority of educational institution and everyone SANE who is studying there to intentionally break someone's else work for their own profit.
Not sure what's severity of this attack but if these "patches" got into critical parts of kernel like NFS they should not only be expelled but prosecuted. Becase what's next? Another bunch of MORONS will launch attacks on medical equipement to see if they're able to kill someone and then cry if they fail?
