The Day Anubis Saved Our Websites from a DDoS Attack

I completely agree with you. I just want to point out that the actual software author here is not being aggressive about it. They make a request and that's it. Nor are the other 55 contributors visible on github.

"we ask (but not demand, these are words on the internet, not word of law) that you not remove the Anubis character from your deployment"

For whatever reason somebody decided to blow it out of proportion here on hn.

Well, sure, but the author is also labeling people who don't comply with their request as "cowards" in this very thread. So by the same token that they kindly make a request, they can also refrain from passing judgment on people who kindly don't comply. And the same goes for people who pass their judgment on the author's behalf, or make a point about some "social contract".

Sure, I can agree with that too. Although I think 3rd party outrage is much worse, and borderline infantile.

I’m not sure I’m seeing a lot of outrage here, but I think this is a legitimately interesting discussion.
