+ | |||
+ | "If you're willing to reveal to public the full plugin, everyone can see for themselves" | ||
+ | |||
+ | In another words, probably another individual who is hampered by obfuscation and cannot read the code as it is. Suddenly, it makes sense as to why he deobfuscated our plugin in the first place. | ||
+ | |||
+ | However, revealing it to the public isn't the only way to get a plagiarism check on things. Especially since we can have unrelated third-party individuals check it. Keep this part in mind, too. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now, the part with the Public_0_Dragonbones.js not having the aforementioned MIT license notification is correct. We were lacking in that. | ||
+ | |||
+ | However, that's not infringement. Infringement refers to laws. Violations refer to conditions. It'd be correct to say we were violating a condition. You can argue it's semantics, but the United States court treats cases for law infringements and licensing condition violations differently. | ||
+ | |||
+ | But! Even the [http://www.dragonbones.com/en/download.html Github linked from Dragonbones.com's website] fails to include their own MIT license as a part of it. [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DragonBones/DragonBonesJS/master/Cocos/1.x/out/dragonBones.min.js Example seen here]. Either way, adding the license back to the Public_0_Dragonbones.js plugin is no big deal. | ||

− | | | + | | I don't know why he is so set on calling it infringement. I'm guessing it's because he doesn't have an understanding on how different laws, intellectual property, or licenses are from one another. |

− | | | + | | He never mentioned the third "infringement", to which, leads me to believe that he probably thought it was illegal for me to sell the Dragonbones library MIT license. |
+ | |||
+ | And yes, that's actually semi-true, except, that's only if there were changes to the code breaking the "as if" clause of the MIT license. | ||

IntroductionAugust is one magical month. It's the month where people like to seem like to get angry and defecate onto other people's otherwise peaceful lives for no reason. No good reason, I should say. Restart, the creator of Fossil MZ, decided to do just that. Part 1. Accusations
