Re: NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

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?

And when a stakeholder is actually doing those things? Copying, cloning etc? isn't that the case with all those clones?

So I guess you have to be a Nxt stakeholder to clone Nxt. Looks like the NEM folks (apparently Nxt insiders) are busy collecting donations in Nxt and BTC for their Nxt clone:

Let the clone wars begin!

What was that again about the 'trap' in the code that'll render clones dead in 24 hours?

Anyone can clone Nxt, but CFB can kill it. NEM is founded by Utopian, he's a Nxt supporter, but the only insiders would be CFB and JL.

Using restrictive licenses would be very bad for Nxt. I would sell my stake today and forget about this project if I thought that was seriously the plan. We already don't have a usable open-sourced copy of Nxt, but my understanding is that we will within a few months. Short delays in open sourcing new features is going far enough and it is debatable whether or not Nxt benefits from this.
