I am not a lawyer. Need a lawyer to figure out how to make it so we can prevent klones that blatantly ripoff NXT community's hard work.
For graphics, text we write, etc., it should be easy to put copyright and that automatically limits theft.
Something wrong with all these discussions about licences. This is a world of cryptoanarchy.
yes, and then when anonymous user BCNext2 violates our license, what exactly are we going to do about it? Who 'owns' the source code you are trying to copyright??? because that is the only entity able to bring a tort forwards, and that is centralization.
doesnt make much sense.
My interpretation is that any NXT holder is damaged by anybody that steals NXT property. So theoretically, anybody owning NXT at the time of infringement would have standing to sue. Is that wrong?
Use code as reference, fine. Make new coin using ideas in code, fine. Copy paste rename collect money, not OK. Steal graphics and documents, not OK.
We might have no recourse in some cases, but if adding a paragraph gives us the chance of having recourse, what is the harm? Does this violate some unwritten rule I don't know about? If it really is cryptoanarchy, then I should be free to do whatever I want. Yes?
I want to do this.
