Originally created by @DJCrashdummy on GitHub (Jun 23, 2018).

i stumbled accidentally across "Awesome Self Hosted" which looks pretty cool, but after a short time i realized that it is pretty sure based on this project and its information, structure, etc.

so far so good, but to proof my assumption i looked around for some references and the only thing i found was this statement at the bottom of the page:

[...] The collection of libraries and resources is based on the Awesome Self Hosted List and direct contributions here. [...]

Originally created by @DJCrashdummy on GitHub (Jun 23, 2018). i stumbled accidentally across [_"Awesome Self Hosted"_](https://selfhosted.libhunt.com/) which looks pretty cool, but after a short time i realized that it is pretty sure based on this project and its information, structure, etc. so far so good, but to proof my assumption i looked around for some references and the only thing i found was this statement at the bottom of the page: > [...] The collection of libraries and resources is based on the _Awesome Self Hosted List_ and direct contributions here. [...] - without any link or further reference... IMHO this is not an appropriate attribution! - beside that it looks like they intend to cause a mix-up because of the similar names, no links and no further explanation. - and as icing on the cake the footer closes with the following statement: > Awesome Self Hosted is part of the [LibHunt](http://www.libhunt.com/) network.

beside that it looks like they intend to cause a mix-up because of the similar names, no links and no further explanation.

Yes they are not willing to link to us in a more visible manner, and are also name-squatting to increase the visibility in search engines. I don't agree with that, but again there is nothing here that infringes the license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode. The upside is that data that they have added to their copy of the list must stay CC-BY-SA-4.0 or later.

Feel free to close if it answers your questions.
