The user @bejolithic ("Bejolithic human@bejolithic.tech") seems to have made a replica of this repo? It's been cleansed of attribution, from a brief look.

See https://github.com/nervive/maimo and https://crates.io/crates/maimo.

Wtf, that's weird... Why wouldn't the user make a fork and give attribution? Granted the license allows for this behavior, but it's kind of a dick move if they intend to pretend they created it all. @bejolithic care to comment?

It looks like their GitHub account was taken down? Very bizarre. I'm not too worried about it, though. I chose the public domain license specifically because I worry more about suppression and censorship than I do about impersonation or whitelabeled unattributed copies. But I guess your Apache license didn't deter them, either. 🤷‍♂️

Regardless, thanks for letting me know, and if you find anything else out, I'd be curious what the deal was behind all of this.
