Request for license attribution - Skyra Project/Skyra

[favna]

Hello there,

You may know me as one of the core maintainers / co-owners of the Skyra discord bot (https://github.com/skyra-project/skyra) and core maintainer to the Sapphire project

I was recently made aware of this repository through a contributor to the Sapphire Project who was gracious enough to suggest adding this project to our list of recommended examples (https://github.com/sapphiredev/sapphire-slashies/pull/31). As things go with these kind of processes it is my job to vet the suggestions by looking through the repository in question.

While doing just this, I noticed that many things of this repository are very strongly based on that of Skyra, clearly showing that the basic ideas are generally copied over.

Examples are:

• The exact setup of the files on the root
• The commit message that is used for Crowdin
• The general structure of the README
  • Logo and badges centered followed by Development -> Requirements & Options and then a header A note regarding self-hosting ...
• https://github.com/RTByte/rtbyte/blob/master/.vscode/settings.json referencing the .yarn folder for Yarn v3, despite this project using NPM as package manager.
• https://github.com/RTByte/rtbyte/blob/master/src/arguments/channelName.ts and other files being a 1:1 copy

That all said, I would like to formally ask you to add proper license attribution to this repository. Failure to do so will force me to issue a DMCA takedown notice through https://support.github.com/contact/dmca-takedown. Please comply to this request within 7 standard days of this issue being created

You can add proper license attribution by adding a file called THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES to the root of your project with the full content of https://github.com/skyra-project/skyra/blob/main/LICENSE.

Hey @Favna,

I decided to sort this out right away instead of later this weekend as I mentioned during on conversation on Discord.

I've made a couple changes (shown above) that should cover all the third-party attributions in the code. Please let me know if I missed anything, or if any further changes would need to be made. I also took the opportunity to remove the unnecessary inclusion of .yarn in https://github.com/RTByte/rtbyte/blob/master/.vscode/settings.json - thanks for pointing that out!

With the content of the README being different but still following a similar outline and layout, I'll definitely take the time to rewrite it over the next few weeks in good faith. This may however take some time - hope that's alright.

Apologies again for not already having proper license attribution! Thanks for submitting this right away and for being understanding during our interaction over Discord.

The changes look good to me. Thanks for the swift resolution of the issue 😍.

I'll close this issue then.
