I'm not an engineer, and no one should be getting the impression that anyone else is under the impression that HN is the place to seek an authoritative disposition about this. It is, though, an acceptable channel for the sort of collegial and informal heads-up that this is (and which is all that this is).
Your desire to condescend, however, is noted.
- __jonas 9mo agoI think it would be interesting for people if your comment was a little more specific about what the issue is. Is this about ffmpeg as raised here: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/34236 https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/34236 ?
- nebezb 8mo agoYou’re not the random engineer. Ben, the commenter you’re replying to, is. You were given helpful advice and a link. I don’t see this being condescending.
- intern4tional 8mo agoCorrect, that was my intent - Ben isn't the proper channel as he is just an engineer responding to comments here. Stuff like this is serious and so should be escalated. Compliance with FOSS licenses isn't a joke.
- intern4tional 8mo agoYou misunderstand. Ben is a random engineer, he is definitely not the proper point of contact. FOSS compliance is serious, so if this is real, do escalate it.
