So, at the very least, this guy displayed the licenses of the ripped content as well? If not it's not proper use.

Someone on Reddit gave an example of him deleting the license off a file he'd taken (and repo README only saying that the project is "by him").

Seeing how the rest of the files in the repo did have the same license remaining it was probably just a mistake, but this whole thing just gives off a really fucked vibe.

Adapting code, using code, taking code. Same same but very different.
