  • Tell HN: Microsoft forks MIT licensed repo, and changes the copyright to them
    32 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 25 Dec 2021
    I lead the Microsoft Open Source Programs Office team. I'm sorry this happened.

    We have merged a pull request that restored the correct LICENSE file and copyright, and are in touch with the upstream author Leśny Rumcajs who emailed us this morning. We'll look to revert the entire commit that our bot made, too, since it updated the README with a boilerplate getting started guide.

    The bug was caused by a bot that was designed to commit template files in new repositories. It's code that I wrote to try to prevent other problems we have had with releasing projects in the past. It's not supposed to run on forks.

    I'm going to make sure that we sit down and audit all of our forked repositories and revert similar changes to any other projects.

    We have a lot of process around forking, and have had to put controls in place to make sure that people are aware of that guidance. Starting a few years ago, we even "lock" forks to enforce our process. We prefer that people fork projects into their individual GitHub accounts, instead of our organization, to encourage that they participate with the upstream project. In this situation, a team got approval to fork the repository, but hasn't yet gotten started.

    To be as open as I can, I'd like to point out:
