People are getting upset because this is not a nice thing to do. Attribution is significant. No one would care if you replaced all the names with the new ones in a fork because they would see commits that do that.
Hi. Thank you for pointing this out. I totally understand now that forking would have kept the commit history visible and made the attribution clearer. I have since added a direct note in the repo acknowledging that it is built on the original Zerox project and also linked back to it. If there’s anything else you’d suggest, happy to hear it. Thanks again.
It would be better to attribute. You can still do this by fixing the git commit history and doing a force push. It would do a lot to make people feel better.
