Return the proper copyrights back to where they should be and there will not be any issues. Else we are prepared to file a DMCA violation. We don't ask for much. Just don't try and pass this all off like you guys wrote it.

As I replied on a similar issue opened in a line-comment (https://github.com/Darkpeninsula/Darkcore/commit/cd835cb288ead7e4245f28864383a8c7f55dab0f#commitcomment-1183613), no one here are trying to hide that DarkCore is Skyfire-based. We have CLEARLY maintained your copyrights and the previous ones (TrinityCore and ManGOS copyrights are presents).

If you want to go through this file's header, as I said, you'll see that there are your copyright string at line 3.

In this particular case, we have another issue too: making our revision string look exactly the same as yours would be -really, this time- a violation, as clearly stated in your license file.

(see Chapter 4 and 5 of GPL license distributed with your software for more info).

(This merge pull will remain open of course, as I'd like to clearly explain that there is no violation or rights infringements at all towards you and your project.)

Fell free to add any replay if you have futher issues.

Skyfire, it doesn't MATTER if you write something WRONG in a place that MUST be edited to achieve GPL request.

You are using GPL version. THAT matter, nothing else, no way to deny this. Your copyright are present in that file, your project is clearly quoted, the logo is legally changed. STOP, GPL requirements are achieved.

If I wrote // DO NOT FORK MY REPO, and still release it under GPL, then I achieve the right to avoid you to fork it??
"what the hell is wrong with you? are you insane?" is what someone could reply me: and just because is a NO SENSE asking for something that is in clear contraddiction with the license of that software. That's the same case.

It's the GNU GPL you used guys, just read point 4 and point 5... read it and accept it, or stop making your revision. If you get pissed about this, probably opensource is not for you, or at least GPL-related one. You should think about making a freeware copyrighted program from zero, not a copylefted one based upon ages of free software.

Best regards, our team decided to go along with your wish to "leave peacefully", just be in the know that I wouldn't.
