Cease and desist letter from Disney Legal Dept in 3…2…1…
Agreed.
Looked at the project LICENSE and saw no character licensing waiver from Disney. This not a case of
fair use, The package is both brandedkenobiand uses copyrighted imagery. Removing all doubt. The image most likely is not in the public domain. But if that is, this should be clearly documented and isn’t.My first impression is,
what a noob move.Taking a step back, lets keep in mind, software is Intellectual Property. All our licenses are meaningless, if coders disregard copyright law.
There is nothing wrong with the software as long as it’s fork’ed away. The package name, the main script file name, and entrypoint name should be renamed. The imagery should be deleted.
Send a letter to Disney saying,
stay away from our kidsthen kick them out of the Western world. Then take a shower. Maybe burn our clothes just be sure.Disney is guilty of mixing good and evil and calling it good. They propagandize your women projecting imagery that men should be rejected. They project themselves as priests seeking to supplant culture and society with their own set of morality and ethics.
We are a separate group, we are priests of technology. And don’t want to be stuck in the dark ages forever cuz a group of pervs discovered they can get little girls to pose for the camera and then feed the girls princess fantasies.
BUT that doesn’t excuse our actions. If we disregard copyright law.
Only MongoDB is webscale…
Which is stated very clearly.
Not stated, kenobi data engine is limited to only sqlite3. Would pigeon hole yourself unable to switch data engines later on. For that usecase, recommend an ORM (SQLAlchemy).
kenobi looks like a fun project. Not every project needs to be bleeding edge or the bestest. kenobi is a good choice who those who are making a local app that doesn’t deal with requests.
Don’t make me explain the joke.
Oh! How embarrassing. Gonna pretend i understand the joke and hope no one notices.
Not familiar enough with MongoDB, besides it’s not exactly open source
All you need to understand about MongoDB is that it is webscale, because it doesn’t do joins and it has the most kick-ass benchmarks. And sharding.
sharing is the secret to the web scale sauce. you just turn it on and it scales right up
OK, yeah, this looks pretty cool. There are a lot of situations where I want to store information, and a text file isn’t ideal, but running a full fledged database is overkill. I like the simplicity of the interface, especially the search function.
It appears no package has kenobi as a dependency

Might i suggest the reason could possibly be attributed to that gigantic legal liability that sticks out like a sore thumb. Hmmm
This commit gives link to the artist
Creating fan art is fine as long as that art isn’t sold without a Disney character licensing waiver. So the artist did nothing wrong.
The kenobi package did. It’s equivalent to making Kenobi T-shirts and selling them online.
From the artists web site there is a page discussing copyright law
www.deviantart.com/about/policy/copyright/
Maybe the authors of kenobidb should read that page.
Folks running DeviantArt understands …
“If you take my work down am I protected from a lawsuit?
No. Even if DeviantArt takes an infringing work down, you may still be responsible for very significant damages if the copyright owner decides to sue you.”
Why do we care?
Both github and pypi are likely to receive DMCA Complaints causing them trouble and grief.
Coders use both github and pypi and would prefer less trouble coming their way
Thanks everyone for their interest in this little project. We removed the drawing and any even somewhat Disney references. Disney does not own 'kenobi', they do own 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' and 'Ben Kenobi'. There is nothing to do with either of these names of the Star Wars character on the GitHub or PyPI now. Thanks for the feedback everyone!
Welcome to PieFed 😊
Thank you for getting rid of the imagery so quickly. It’s much better without it.
You are right can get away with the package name.
Looked over the source code and it’s a good project.
Will look over it again and see what i can contribute
Much appreciated guys!
i’ll take
pissing on the OPs paradefor 100 AlexOP heard our advice and acted. In my book, that puts him in the awesome category.
We need more of that and more people willing to contribute rather than being Captain Obvious
This is what happens for people who share their projects in this community
Giant PR to port kenobi to pep518
unittest to pytest port coverage up from ~70% --> ~88%
Four (minor) bugs found
Merged this morning!
Wow! That was fast.
Next on the docket kenobi#5 which introduces pre-compile
