> The reason why you are getting this reaction is that you credited an LLM as a co-author on your commit.
The commit has the following text:
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply at anthropic.com>
The US Copyright Office generally considers the output of LLMs to be
ineligible for copyright protection; one can therefore make the argument
that an LLM should not be considered a co-author and that this type of
formal acknowledgement may not be a good idea.
However, it is probably not a big deal.
> I don't appreciate the rabble rousing on the forum by the way. I would have preferred a review comment on GitHub, or a new issue asking to improve the error message. I like working on open source, but it can be stressful for me when I feel like there's a large group of strangers watching me, eager to point out every way I'm doing things wrong.
There are many more people who do appreciate the time and effort you,
DLF and others put in. If someone doesn't like something, they are free
to make their own contributions instead of complaining in a manner that
is both inappropriate and counterproductive.
