So, right off the bat, I’ll state that my project is distributed on GitHub with an MIT License but requires that the end user maintain the same license and copyright.

Honestly, how many of us actually read through open-source software licenses? I don’t mind if someone wanted to self-host this app locally and share it with a couple of friends or used within a college/university. If someone was actually doing this, please let me know, I’d be pretty happy and proud of it.

But someone from the Indian government (mybharat.gov.in) actually took my code, explicitly removed mentions of my name from across the app and somehow made it much worse in terms of design, which was one of the things I worked so hard to perfect in the first place.

If you know someone at the “Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports, Government of India”, please ask them to reach out to me. They have some explaining to do. At the very least, if it’s going to help a lot of people, I can help them make it better.

I’ll just drop my repository link here in case someone is interested to check out the original project/code:
