Stealing isn't the correct word to use in either case.

This discussion route probably isn't one people should want to go down. It's a discussion and topic that never really goes well I find.

But in this case the author has taken 2 of my addons, merged them and has admitted to this. It's no different than me taking loot drop or FTC and making minor changes and uploading it as my own.

It's gotten to the point where I have left a comment on his addon requesting removal of it. I have yet to hear from admins about this issue.

Generally, I think addons are "All Rights Reserved" unless specified otherwise. If there is beyond a reasonable doubt that he's taken your work, I think it should be brought down until your work has been removed.

Hi Mitazaki, We have been waiting to hear from the other party. Since its taking awhile we have put that AddOn on hold (download removed) until we can get in communication with him and rectify the situation.

Thanks for filing the report. We take copyright claims very seriously and investigate them fully.

Ugh, apologies for not posting on this thread (or sending a PM to Mitazaki) sooner. I meant to. I've contacted Skoodat asking him to remove the code that isn't his own. I'm just waiting to hear back from him. I just got pulled away to something else and forgot to let Mitazaki know. Sorry.

I shouldn't of brought the issue to this thread I really just wanted to know if I was in the right or not regarding the authors addon. I appreciate you looking into this and getting back to me.

No worries at all Mitazaki.
