quiquetdl There’s no point in trying to challenge those who think that knowing how to use ChatGPT makes them programmers, and that using Google and social media makes them feel like Columbo. (If you had to Google who Columbo is, you’re probably one of them.) I’ve been a lawyer for 30 years and have spent the last 20 years leading an OSPO in an organization with 210 employees. I believe SCANOSS may have made a minor mistake with its automated reporting, which could potentially go against GitHub’s rules. While the goal of the 'experiment' is completely valid, the method may not be. However, under no circumstances does this justify filling a collaborative repository (with no relevant connection) with insults and excessive aggression.

It's SCANOSS's fork.

> which could potentially go against GitHub’s rules

Not potentially, it does.

> we use the purl2cpe repository daily

Great, but not this fork. This fork is from SCANOSS, and I chose a repo which hard cursing (albeit due a dependency) to make my point of their hypocrisy.

You really ought to look at who has commented in that thread, from well known cryptographers to other business owners. Attacking the people, rather than discussing the topic at hand, won't get us anywhere. I have not once accused SCANOSS of being bad programmers, bad at their job, etc. because, frankly, they're probably not. It's, seemingly, a successful business with reasonable development procedures. It's just that it seems they're in desperate need of ethics and PR knowledge.

> meaning anyone could easily impersonate someone else.

Interesting, from another account made just now, to be the only other defending SCANOSS. I don't think anybody impersonated Quique, because unlike SCANOSS, nobody - that I've talked to at least - is coming from a place of malice. We simply want an apology and acknowledgment wrong was done.

Honestly, this entire comment was confusing, and written in a style that makes me suspect of it's legitimacy, as ironic as that is.

I don't think anybody impersonated Quique, because unlike SCANOSS, nobody - that I've talked to at least - is coming from a place of malice. We simply want an apology and acknowledgment wrong was done. Please, read carefully. I said that I have created the account few minutes ago just to reply. If you are trying to say that I am a SCANOSS employee, no, I am not and I am not interested in (and I do not need it). As far as I know, Quique is very popular nickname in spanish/portiguese speaking countries and tdl is the short subfix for Trusted Digital Life.

You are free to suspect whatever you want. You're free to do as you wish, as long as your actions towards society are guided by respect and proper conduct. You will not find other defending SCANOSS because SCANOSS does not need it. SCANOSS customers and collaborators are not interested on this kids play (I am mom and have two kids, that is why I wrote here ;-))
