Not a problem. Just fork it and put in the work to maintain it. The license grants anyonr that right. What stops anyone from doing it?
If that's too much to ask then perhaps it should put into perspective how project maintainers are abused.
You haven’t read my comment from two levels up. There’s nothing to fork on the original repo.
There certainly is: https://github.com/fafhrd91/actix-web
Ok, but the arrow of time being what it is you cannot fork something usefully after all the code has been taken away. You can now fork the readme and change that.
It's true I think everyone should do what I do which is to fork anything I think I might need at some point , but that isn't what you actually suggested and it isn't what the parent comment was observing could be a problem for people.
As stated clearly in the README:
> P.S. I moved actix-net and actix-web project to my personal github account.
So he's transferred it to:
https://github.com/fafhrd91/actix-web
Feel free to fork, take a copy, start a new repo. The project is dual Apache/MIT licensed so feel free to do whatever you want within its very liberal scope.
What you're not entitled to do is demand anything from the author or to take up any of his time. Take his code, but don't demand anything else from him.
> Nowadays supporting actix project is not fun, and be part of rust community is not fun as well.
> I am done with open source.
He's over the abuse and entitlement his received over the project and obviously doesn't want to spend any more of his time on it.
Sorry, I interpreted that to mean his private account, which was silly.
You bring all this righteous indignation, and didn't actually read the readme where he tells you were the repo has gone in case you want to fork it and assume the responsibility of maintaining it. I think we've reached the perfect intersection of "entitlement" and "laziness".
