Just a heads up that someone just ripped this library. You can find the repository at https://github.com/ugurethemaydin/SwiftConfettiView

I sent that guy an email lol. I'm affected much. How dare him to take ownership of this simple library.

Unfortunately, this library has not been updated for a long time and does not work after swift 4.2.
If you get an error and cannot use this library, you can visit it.
For the active repo and many new features,

@ugurethemaydin Social politeness aside, your fork fails to abide by the single legal requirement in the license, to preserve the original author's copyright notice. You may add your own notice, but not remove existing notices (unless you've removed everything contributed by that author):

The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software

Socially, it is poor manners not to credit prominently those whose work came before yours, though that specifically does not expose you to legal liability (whereas your failure to operate within the original author's license terms does make you liable for the civil tort of copyright infringement).

Is @sudeepag or any other maintainers around? To get SAConfettiView usable nowadays, we need support for Swift 5 (#58) and Carthage (#56). The Carthage PR (and several others) have been open for months though, which is truly worrisome. Perhaps get things up to date, and copycats will stop springing up?
