Description
unfortunately, the license change commit 47d1aa5f302c5b6b579de176535e01aa97d1ff27 is attributed to a certain islam-morrar. This is probably because there's a typo in the email address that I used (i.e. noreply@githob.com). I guess that user was created by accident or opportunistically.
There seems to be no way to fix this, without essentially invalidating everyone's git clone.
Oh well.
