thescientist Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Ah yes, I remember reading all about that last week. Pretty interesting that turned into overly dramatic situation. IMO, I think NPM, Kik, and Azer all could have handled the situation better. I get the Kik had a copyright and thus their right to the name, but I wonder if most people (read developers) who stumbled upon a kik namespaced package on NPM would immediately think of the instant messaging company.
