Just in case you are not aware there is a recent reddit thread on r/Eve about your new release:

Stealing other people’s work without credit is bad actually. A study in AI slop and the “new” evemon fork

TL:DR: Roughly a week ago, Alia Collins released a version of EveMon as a fork of Peter Han’s original version to much fanfare. They claim to be reviving a dead project, however EveMon has been alive and maintained at here for some time now.

The issues with this are:

  • The new author is taking credit for work that isn’t theirs and is copied from the active fork
  • Removing the entire project history and attributions it contained
  • Using this work to ply for donations

Personally I don’t know the exact details to can make a proper elaboration who is right and what nuances are there to support either side, but it is irrelevant as well.

Just linking this so you can address the situation in case you aren’t aware of it yet as well as people can learn about it and do their own research regarding the subject and come to their own conclusions.
