Hi.

I'm an author of whywaita/setup-lxd. This repository is very similar to that my repository. (e.g. Diable IPv6)

Has the original commitor never looked at my repository once really? Please respect the license in my repository (It is MIT License).

Hi @whywaita,

Thank-you for raising this concern. I can understand why you might interpret this as a copy.

I can assure you that this is not inspired by or derived from your work, as it is inspired by this https://github.com/juju/juju/commit/e416669636ebe6adcbcaac3e2278bf1fd87ce36d which I wrote, which was inspired by the work of others in the juju/juju project and the documentation from Github Actions and the LXD project.

The similarity of the two works is only similar by coincidence, the name is a simple following of the pattern set out by Github https://github.com/marketplace?type=actions&query=setup+ . The verb "setup" and the noun "lxd" are used to follow this pattern.

I will leave this issue open if you have any further concerns.
