Duplication of code from other repositories

[ericblade]

I notice that there are several bits of code wholesale duplicated from other repositories in here, and redistributed under a different license.

I am not a lawyer, but I don't think you can just copy code out of repositories that is MIT licensed and relicense it under AGPL with your name on it.

Let's have a discussion and solve this issue, eh? Not just for me, but for anyone else who you've also copied.

I asked chatgpt the following question:
"Can I copy code out of repositories that is MIT licensed into my GPL code?"
and the answer was:
"Yes, you can copy code from a repository that is licensed under the MIT license and include it in your GPL-licensed code. The MIT license is a permissive license that allows you to use, modify, and distribute the code, including incorporating it into a larger codebase with a different license. However, it's important to note that while you can incorporate MIT-licensed code into your GPL-licensed code, the resulting combined work must be distributed under the terms of the GPL license. This means that the entire codebase, including the MIT-licensed code, must be made available to recipients under the terms of the GPL, allowing them the same rights and freedoms that the GPL provides. It's always a good practice to clearly identify and attribute the MIT-licensed code you've incorporated into your project to respect the original author's contributions and the terms of the MIT license."
I trust that this is satisfactory.
