Missing attribution to mobile-use and its contributors

Summary

We’re the team behind mobile-use. Artemis includes code from our project, but we couldn’t find an acknowledgement of Minitap, mobile-use, or its contributors.

We welcome reuse of our open-source work and are requesting that its origins and authors be credited.

Evidence

The initial pyproject.toml contains mobile-use’s version number, 3.6.3, and three original authors: Pierre-Louis Favreau, Jean-Pierre Lo, and Nicolas Dehandschoewercker, under a Google LLC copyright header.

In the replacement commit, those names are replaced with another author. The other 228 files are unchanged.

Shared code includes the ADB tunnel implementation, planner helpers, app-lock utilities, agent prompts, and SDK examples. Some retain mobile-use-specific references, including “Mobile use context” docstrings and the reference to replacing the lim CLI.

Requested resolution

  • Add a README acknowledgement identifying mobile-use by Minitap as a source of the reused code, with a link to the upstream repository.
  • Restore the relevant upstream copyright and attribution notices wherever mobile-use code is incorporated.
  • Credit the original authors and community contributors whose work is included.

Thank you.
