The fact that Ernest commented on this two months ago and then didn't fix the issue is saddening. I understand that everyone is busy, but crediting people isn't a big ask.

It really is ridiculous. It's such a small ask to give credit where it's due.
perhaps they need a reminder or something. Violating Licenses is really bad.
I've raised this in the matrix chat and have flagged this again to Ernest. I know initially about 2 months ago when the exodus happened that he was scrambling around trying to keep the server running as everyone joined.
Over the last few weeks he's be busy with a flood of PRs with either fixes, new features or support for the upcoming API integration.
I had no idea this ticket existed (mostly because there's been almost 1000 tickets submitted and I've been working on improvements)
Hopefully he can have a look at this and fix these issues soon, I seriously don't think this was done maliciously, but I'll do what I can to raise it (I have minimal exposure to open source licensing so I don't want to touch these files myself)
I understood some of those words.
I remember raddle users spreading FUD before when people started to move here from Reddit. Surely if this is a thing the raddle site admin has spoken to the Kbin creators about this?
I also was almost dismissing it as "who let raddle out of the box again", but this is indeed a valid complaint, which even is easy enough for kbin to become compliant - so I also don't see why they didn't do it immediately when it was pointed out.
I'd like to highlight that there's been a recent PR that's added the licensing to several files
