This is not 'deadnaming', it is declaring legal names on a legal document and showing aliases to disambiguate the subject, as is generally required.
...
Again, these are legal names, and when issuing a legal document, you are required to use them if you wish it to have any legal weight or merit. If you issue a legal document only to a pseudonym or an alias, it has the legal weight of toilet tissue
I mean, my legal name is "Emily", and has been for well over a year now. You have no reason to use anything else for me other than being a dick, which is the point here. You're being a dick just to fuck with us. That doesn't make you look very good lol.
As for the events that have occurred here:
We, the people who have been maintaining and developing this project, made an administrative move, like many we have made before, when we decided to move the repo. AGN has never cared about anything we've done in the past, so why would they care now about this? This action was requested by NightmareJames on behalf of AGN- though since it has become obvious that he completely misunderstood what he was asking and how we intended on fulfilling his request (despite talking to him for HOURS and going into explicit detail- we did our due diligence on this part, James is the one who made an error). Additionally he apparently had no authority to authorize such- something which we never would have had any clue about, as James has been basically our ONLY line of communication with AGN, so getting a request from him, we had no reason to suspect it was not proper.
At this point, when we haven't done anything wrong or made any malicious move, we were completely removed from the organization, and changes were made on `zeldaclassic.com` specifically targeting us (re: removing the Patreon announcement, along with I believe a couple other of the recent announcements). Additionally, we then hear that in the AGN discord, we are being shit-talked about. At this point we have not received a SINGLE message from anyone at AGN, not asking for anything to be returned, not asking why we did anything, nothing. No explanation was given, only purely hostile actions. So, at this point, we have absolutely no reason to "play nice" or be courteous. (Had we received a message questioning us and explaining that there was a misunderstanding on James' part, we likely would have immediately reverted everything without question- but instead, AGN started with extreme hostility, and didn't bother to ask us about anything whatsoever?)
Also, the legal threats?
legal document
I am executing this LICENSE TERMINATION per the provisions of GPLv3 §8¶1, which states:
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License
(including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of section 11).
In what way have we propagated or modified the covered work in a way that was not provided under the license? You seem to be using legal mumbo jumbo here that doesn't actually help your case...
As far as I am aware, we have not broken any laws, nor have we violated any terms of any licenses. We, owners on a GitHub repo and the only people actively contributing to said repo, moved said repo. The ONLY course of action you have here is to file a complaint with GitHub, which we already told you to feel free to do- though frankly, given the "we, owners and the only people actively contributing" part, I would expect GitHub to simply dismiss such a complaint.
AGN has just about burned the last of their good will with the community, I'd say.
