  • This codebase comes from https://github.com/flowjs/flow.js
  • The first commit of this repository say Copyright (c) 2015 doly mood while still bundling 95% of the original codebase, which, if not illegal, is very little unethical (even for Chineses, I guess). The LICENSE clearly said The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
  • You didn't even tried to provide the upstream project enhancements pull requests thus arbitrarily dividing the javascript ecosystem when efforts could have been very well put in common on a shared codebase.
  • Your fork didn't even preserve the Git history (which is the whole point of Git & Github), making impossible shared patch maintenance (bad for you & possibly bad for flow.js)

I hardly see the point these methods.
