Sponges copied from MY PLUGIN without even mentioning me

Closed this issue 4 years ago · 8 comments

I recently created a plugin that makes sponges works and now you picked it up removed the license and putted in this "plugin". Please go and read the 4th point of the apache 2.0 license:

(a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
          Derivative Works a copy of this License;

After this I will change the license because copying without changing anything and without mentioning the author but saying that you are the author while you aren't isn't so nice.
Bye, thank you for ̷y̷o̷u̷r̷ my job.

How are the authors supposed to know whether the code in PR was copied or not. They don't go around looking through all plugins for the exact same code. You have the wrong understanding of reality.

Ok, so explain me. (It's not me but you have completely copied it without changing anything. The license was clear)

your repository was uploaded today (17 hours ago, at 2/20/2020), and the PR was 12 days ago. How is that believable? we have no exact knowledge of who did what. I personally just give credit from who I took it from, and I don't maintain this plugin anymore. I didn't do the sponge PR. why are you deprecating me as if you're the one who made this entire thing? this isn't YouTube with a broken copyright system lmao I didn't even review nor merge the PR. And like I said, **I don't maintain this anymore** if you can prove that you were the original creator of it, a maintainer could include credit on the README file and the source code... I can't guarantee that any of us have time to do that though.

Yes, because I changed license so I've recreated the github repo... Later I will try to prove me

Ok, so some days ago it was on Poggit but I removed it becouse of this so now I don't know were to start... let me think something like github cache or google's

Answer 6 · 2020-02-20T15:07:46.000Z

Yep founded HERE

Or if you want just go on google and tipy cache:https://github.com/Invy55/Sponges
Only one problem this version is older...

Using the same method but on poggit page for just 2 seconds it shows up this screen then go to an error because I deleted it:

And you can see the release date

Ok do what you want, feel free to stay with that garbage code in your plugin...
