Consider crediting the original work
lexisother opened this issue · comments
You have licensed your work under the terms of the OSL. This states the following:
3) Grant of Source Code License. The term "Source Code" means the preferred form of the Original Work for making modifications to it and all available documentation describing how to modify the Original Work. Licensor agrees to provide a machine-readable copy of the Source Code of the Original Work along with each copy of the Original Work that Licensor distributes. Licensor reserves the right to satisfy this obligation by placing a machine-readable copy of the Source Code in an information repository reasonably calculated to permit inexpensive and convenient access by You for as long as Licensor continues to distribute the Original Work.
as well as:
6) Attribution Rights. You must retain, in the Source Code of any Derivative Works that You create, all copyright, patent, or trademark notices from the Source Code of the Original Work, as well as any notices of licensing and any descriptive text identified therein as an "Attribution Notice." You must cause the Source Code for any Derivative Works that You create to carry a prominent Attribution Notice reasonably calculated to inform recipients that You have modified the Original Work.
Your work is clearly a derivate of ArmCord, proven by both the fact this repository used to be a fork (see image) and the fact that the source code is identical.
Currently, you are failing to comply with the license terms. We as ArmCord have all rights to take action if you fail to comply with the terms of the license.
I recommend following the terms.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I planned to work on readme later, so I had not yet included the proper attribution notices required by the OSL. I apologize for any inconvenience caused by my oversight.
Moving forward, I will make sure that the source code for any derivative works that I create carries a prominent attribution notice that informs users that I have modified the original work.
Again, I apologize for any confusion or inconvenience caused by my failure to comply with the OSL license terms. I appreciate you bringing this matter to my attention, and I am committed to taking the necessary steps to ensure that I am in full compliance with the license going forward.
Absolutely no problem. I am glad you're willing to work on it.
I'll leave the issue open until concerns are resolved, so you can ask any questions may you have the need.
Updated the readme. Let me know if there is anything else I can do.
Seems to be cleared up according to the License.
