This came up on reddit: https://github.com/zippoxer/petname/ https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/bfjhhe/petname_a_go_package_that_generates_silly_pet/ He seems to "credit" you but that's not the same as following your license. He's had 3 days to fix it. He's commented on elsewhere under the post, and added that "credit" commit, so I assume he has seen the comments.

Hi,

I've taken down my repo, forked this repo instead, and made pull request #9.

I can see there was no malice intended. Thanks for reaching out with that pull request. It'll need some work before I can take it, but thank you for putting it out there and clearing the air ;-)
