@s8n @icedquinn @linear Here is what you do OP, instead of deleting your hard work like a bitch, you fork the project, apply your patch, then make sure everyone in the original branch knows you did the work and it is sitting there staring them in the face like a bunch of stupid niggers.

If they really want it bad enough, they'll come to you offering to make an exception. Or at least ask you to pick something that sounds like a real name. Do you really need to sign your work "linear cannon" if "James Ortega" or some random shit will satisfy them?

Otherwise just keep it around as a "fuck you" card and any time it looks like they are trying to jack your work, start a social media shitstorm or threaten to sue them, or whatever.

Giving up and going away is exactly what they want you to do.
