[issue22483] Copyright infringement on PyPI

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor added the comment:

I don't understand the issue.

I see two projects:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cdecimal
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/m3-cdecimal

The two projects have the same metadata except owner: cdecimal is owned by skrah, m3-cdecimal is owned by prefer.

The license and author (Stefan Krah) are not changed in m3-cdecimal. Where is the "copyright infringement"? Is it the description of the package? The description contains a few lines of text (Overview, Testing, Short benchmarks, Documentation and Linux Notes sections).

I'm unable to reach http://www.bytereef.org/. It looks like the domain is owned by Stefan Krah.

Is it illegal to clone a project on PyPI if the author and license is not changed?
