I assume @hemanth is happy for the project README to appear on the blog of a recruitment agency. Along with the rest of the blogs that seem to be copy pasted from the original location. Should I guess functional-works obtained permission from all the original copyright holders?
yeah, we reached out directly to Hemanth and got a written consent to re-publish as long as the attributions were visible enough - he is credited as the author, plus there is a link for the original source at the bottom.
As with all articles on our blog that are not written by us, the authors can reach out to us at any time if they want to make any changes to the article and we'll be happy to comply. As well, they can make the changes by themselves at any point.
Regarding the MIT license, we didn't think of mentioning it on the blog - but thank you for head's up, we'll look into it.
>We have a platform that givs visibility to the great work that’s being done in the functional space.
Wow, that's disingenous. That's nothing like what you do. You have a platform that promotes your brand by copying and pasting other people's content into a worse presentation with your logo in a sticky navbar stuck to the top of the page.
You guessed correct. We ask each author for prior permission to rebublish. Although around 50% of the posts you see have been contributed directly by the authors which we then will approve before they go live on our site. We actively curated posts we feel our audience of 50,000 functional programmers will find interesting but only publish those that we have the permission to do so.
