Can I ask what file you're looking at? I see in the Tao2 repository the COPYING file hasn't been updated.
Sure. That file still refers to the original source (ethereum, of which Tomo is a fork).
The file I'm referring to is the LICENSE file in the docs repository, which was changed to refer to Tao rather than Tomochain in this commit:
https://github.com/taoblockchain/docs/commit/c56c2abe487301f9a461d1749cb1ba3c422afe35#diff-9879d6db96fd29134fc802214163b95aWhich is explicitly not allowed by the MIT license (basically it's the
only thing not allowed).
It's also funny that Bryce is claiming copyright of the whole documentation repo
going back all the way to 2018.
And it doesn't really matter if it's a "work in progress" or not. Distributing that stuff without including the copyright notice is copyright infringement, plain and simple.
And on the whole doing a search-and-replace without checking
at the very least that you're not breaking copyright with it is pretty much the absolute lowest bar you should clear.
