It is true that the MIT license allows you to do this, but it is really in bad taste.

You mean forking a dead program and improving it beyond anything that was ever done originally?

I would say it's not against the devs wishes concidering he linked to the old repo. https://github.com/whitewhidow/quest-sidenoder#june-20-2021--unofficial-user-maintained-fork-available-here

Am I missing something? Plus concidering what's it's used for it seems only smart to me

At this time all sources at old repo. I has some own sense for not post at this state of sources for this repo. To my great regret, the release of the necessary changes is greatly delayed(((

At least OP shows a slight modicum of decorum. Most newbs just use Issues to inform the maintainers that their project sucks, to complain about a known bug (bonus points if the bug has a workaround in the README), or to demand pie-in-the-sky features that are hundreds of hours of coding away ( bonus points if it's already on the roadmap { double bonus if it has several blocking features on the roadmap [ TRIPLE bonus if they refer to the project's current state as "completely worthless/useless" ] } )

I think OP just isn't aware of the huge mess a large refactor can make out of a code tree, or that binary releases might contain secrets that haven't been tokenized/vault'd/CI'd yet.... Which isn't that much better, but an ignorant defense of FOSS w/ insult is better than no defense at all ;)

Finally, to OP:

#~~ PROTIP ~~#

In the future, wait for the answer to your question first, before making a snide remark. Then you can avoid looking foolish. Better yet, don't be snide towards any developer of non-commercial software at all!
