The product in question being open-source or not has nothing to do with whether it's advertising. I would have been okay with it if your product genuinely did something to solve the issue at hand, but as you admit, it does not, so all that's left is "this is a good time to mention my product".

The build tool I linked to would not have solved the issue. I should have read further into the GH repos to understand how the Gem was contaminated. That's my fault.

I have thoughts on the applicability of the build tool mentioned and its relation to licensing issues in general, but I feel I'm repeating myself. I'm not sure continuing this conversation will be productive, so I'm gonna stop.
