Тема: Anti-Cheat Plugin Licensing
Пришло письмо со следующим содержанием:
Hello,
I'm contacting UCP Anti-Cheat regarding the licensing of your anti-cheat
plugins. My name is David Anderson, owner of AlliedModders LLC, and
copyright holder and principal developer of SourceMod.It has been brought to my attention that you are offering a download of
a SourceMod plugin ("ucp.smx") without corresponding source code. The
SourceMod license requires that all works based on SourceMod must make
their corresponding source code available under the GNU General Public
License.I understand if this was an oversight or mistake. Copyright can be
complicated and nuanced, and therefore easy to accidentally neglect.
However we take these matters very seriously, as we have built our
community's trust, integrity, and educational value on top of our
licensing model.To restore compliance with the SourceMod license, the easiest method is
for you to distribute the source code to "ucp.smx" alongside "ucp.smx";
there are other options available as well (such as creating a separate
source code link).Note that AMX Mod X also uses the same license, and is also an
AlliedModders LLC projectI look forward to working with you on this. If you have any questions,
please don't hesitate to contact me. If I don't hear back in two weeks,
I'll send a brief reminder e-mail. I've also added technical details in
the postscript.Thank you,
-David
P.S.
On the technical side, the SourceMod license is the only instrument
which grants you the right to use and create works based on SourceMod.
Failure to adhere to the stipulations of the license (as per Section 8)
results in automatic revocation of those rights. However, those rights
are reinstated if a first-time violation is corrected within 30 days.You can view the SourceMod license here:

Ему-то что, я выложу исходники или нет?
Да и разве он не понимает, что с системой защиты на основе open source долеко не уедешь?
Что ему ответить? :)
