Just to make something clear. We always credit our sources, people are claiming we have ripped off "Phoronix" for simply being subscribed to the same public mailing list. It's false, we do not rip others content off and any regular reader will see we constantly provide source links in a clear way.
It's yet another day that I have to deal with people trying to discredit me and GamingOnLinux the website, like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/5oeio0/the_open_source_vulkan_driver_for_amd_radv_now/dckucxp/

It appears some people in the community just want to see me fail, but others just outright don't know what they are talking about. I want to put some claims about us ripping off others work to rest.
