[aur-requests] [PRQ#30718] Merge Request for notekit-git
sp1rit [1] filed a request to merge notekit-git [2] into notekit- clatexmath-git [3]: I'm the maintainer of notekit-clatexmath-git, and have written it's corresponding pacman build manifest. Attached to the manifest was a AGPL-3.0 copyright notice and my copyright. Previously, notekit-git was the variant of notekit that didn't use cLaTeXMath to render equations, as previously cLaTeXMath needed to vendored into notekit. At some point I submitted a meson buildfile to clatexmath, that building them as seperate package was possible. Yet we left notekit-git untouched, as it continued to work. Now Mr. Zhang tried to use notekit-clatexmath-git and clatexmath-git, but for some reason he was unable to compile the package (I asume because he didn't have base-devel installed). He then modified my pacman build manifest (added pkg-config [part of base-devel] & cmake [not at all needed] to makedepends), took ownership of notekit-git and published the manifest for his personal machine here. However, he also striped the AGPL-3.0 license header and my copyright notice from the package manifest, which clearly violates the AGPL. I've tried solving this amicably with Mr. Zhang directly (see the comments I left on notekit-git), but apparently I have to use this "nuclear option". That's why I'm requesting to be given ownership of notekit-git.

Request #30718 has been rejected by Foxboron [1]: PKGBUILDs are not work that can be considered copyrightable and this reason alone is not enough to do anything here. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/Foxboron/
