Honestly, things like this make me avoid using github just because of the amount of drama involved. By open sourcing projects you are effectively saying that this code is free to use however you feel fit. Yes they should have fully attributed their source. Yes, they should have sent a pull request for their fixes. But is it really that big a deal?

I'm not involved but I wanted to see what discussion might come of it. I see where the fluent-cassandra guys are coming from but I also agree with your point. I'm new to open source and I personally didn't know people took this stuff as seriously as the fluent-cassandra devs do. I always figured if you contribute back you are one of the few who do things the right way.

When the Datastax guys dumped their code the way they did though, it uppped the drama factor a bit.
