Wow! I’m quite annoyed that it was fixed by restoring the previous package while the author had explicitly deleted it. That seems contrary to the laymen interpretation of code ownership

npm is a bunch of cucks. Folded to the lawyer threats immediately but ignored the authors wish to remove his work off platform, and made sure it's no longer possible?

I have to remember never to use them to share my code. God bless I'm not a node dev.

I love how the NPM CEO gave him the tool/command to remove all his work from the platform. What a dummy.

I also support the idea that he should be allowed to remove his work. It should have been republished according to the license. With a forked new name. IMO. But I know what a nightmare that would be.
