Make source of the website private #16

Closed gera2ld closed 3 years ago

gera2ld commented 4 years ago

I am thinking about making the source code of this website private, because I found someone copied Violentmonkey, changed its name, added ads, and released as a new add-on. What's more, they copied the whole website and did the same with it.

Violentmonkey has a license of MIT, so it's OK to be modified and republished. But the website is not.

MIT license doesn't allow to copy or modify without attribution so that other extension violates the license.

Hmm, they include it in their github repo though.

Hello, one of the reviewer of that extension warns that someone has tried to access to his steam account after installing that extension. If this is the case, you guys simply should report the extension to chrome to remove it.

Anyways, look at this extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/moraviamonkey-beta/fgdojojlaebffcecoenkneflmacbkone

@MarkookSMH That is not our extension and never linked to in this website. So I guess we don't have much to do here.
