| Yes, and the other project was on here just 4 days ago [1]. I had actually tried it out myself so I was surprised to see this. Just writing: > I've seen a static version of this project on github, but I forgot the name of the original project. It is his static version of the dashboard turned into a configurable service that spits out HTML & JSON. is unfair to the original author and just doesn't cut it in this case. I see that the MIT license is there, but the original [2] has this line added to the copyright notice: > Copyright (c) Craine Runton The MIT license requires reproducing the copyright notice in full, that includes this line as well. Even if it's just small parts of the original project that were used/modified. It's very cool when someone makes their work available for everyone to see and use, it's not cool to just steal it and even go so far as to rename variables from the original just for the sake of it, see commit [3] (e.g. config.js)! And even after that, the code still looks very similar. Just take a look at config.js [4-5] and get_cert_info.js [6-7].

Code is, clearly, very very similar, I've checked both dashboards, this why I've posted the initial comment.
