Other project using your work without naming you as the author #512

The tilix project IMHO using your work but do not name you as the author.

Please see the screenshot on their README.md.

New visitors to that project thinking that the powerline-shell prompt is produced by tilix. They install it and wonder why it is not their.

There is an issue about that problem. But the maintainers do not aggree to the arguments and are not willing to remove the screenshot nor naming you as the author of that prompt-style.
