Today I got a DMCA notice from Github to take down code for a Chrome extension I forked. Only problem is that the code has always been under the GPL for years. Apparently the original dev now wants money for his extension. Guess he’s now regretting his GPL decision.
The URL to the original repository now links to the company’s website.
What if it is signed?
was duplicate
if it is signed by a key used in public repos of the commiter, or otherwise known to possess the key, that is proof, yes
