I respect intellectual property

I used to contribute to an open-source project where concerns arose regarding two other members’ activity.

A former member was found to have participated in the theft and disclosure of confidential information. Looking into the matter, I learned that their involvement in such activity went back to before their departure. Since none of these actions were project-related, and the individual in question was no longer involved in the project, I continued to contribute.

Later, I discovered that an active member had been adding copyright-protected code to the project without authorization. This prompted my immediate departure.

I leave the project unspecified for discretion, but I wish to make it clear that I had no involvement in the aforesaid activity, nor have I ever engaged in any similar pursuits.
