I'd like to hear the other side of the story from the GOOG employee who has been mentioned in the issue []

ed. not GOOG user, employee, but GH user, you know...

It seems like this guy has nothing to do with this project? I mean, he could have told other Googler's about this idea, but maybe it's just a coincidence?

Based on a sibling comment I thought he might have merely collected information about Mr Oz's project, in a DevRel role, and someone else gotten hold of it. But IANAL and IANAJ, I just thought that since he's been mentioned he'd like to speak for himself. Esp. considering what some of the sibling comments are saying.

He was one of two authors announcing the project on Google's blog. https://blog.google/technology/ai/google-project-gameface/

Please see my statement above. I started this project long before I met Oz. And when I met Oz, I had a very specific technical requirement that I hoped his library could fix, and then we could lift up his library as a solution instead of building our own. Unfortunately it could not, and at that point the discussion ended.
