Can I remove files from repository I forked, if I make no changes to them? Please refer to previous post for more context.

Hey everyone, so I wrote this post a short time ago, and now I have another question regarding the same repository. I would like to remove the themes that I haven't touched as I don't want to have to deal with maintaining them every time there is a Lemmy update. Is that something I am allowed to do? Is it considered a crappy thing to do to the other dev?

Thanks in advance for all your help!

Edit: Of course I am clearly giving credit to the original dev both on here on lemmy, as well as within my code

A fork is effectively your own repo, so you can do with that as you please. Afaik MIT license doesn't hinder you from removing anything.

That makes sense, just wanted to make sure there wasnt some weird condition

Yeah, MIT license is absurdly free and flexible, so basically you just need to retain copyright notice and license copy.
