Why didnt we buy the Bustabit License?  

Each week, we have been pushing new features to reimagine and innovate on our game! While we respect BaB's implementation, we dont believe they own sole proprietorship to all other implementations of the idea. Like most internet ideas, it seems to us only the implementation matters. Unlike most licensed sites, we took the painstaking effort of upgrading our game beyond the usual v1 features.

And to those that believe that licensing is the only path to legitimacy, here is a recent counterexample -- a not-so favorable licensed site by the name of CrashDoge (and more).

To my knowledge, the idea or concept of a crash game is not protected. In other words, anyone is completely free to create their own crash game. What is protected however is bustabit's work, namely the software we develop. We have published the code of an older version of bustabit's software (v1) under an open source license, the AGPLv3. This open source license allows anyone to use the code for freeeven commercially!as long as they publish their own source code under the same open source license. Casinos that want to use bustabit's v1 software but don't want to share their code have the option of purchasing a paid software license from bustabit which doesn't have that requirement.

So in short, bustabit doesn't own all implementations of a crash game, but it does own its own implementation (v1). Regardless of how many changes you make or how many features you add: If you use any part of bustabit's code then you must comply with the terms of the license.

You claim that your software is a clean room implementation that does not use bustabit's v1 code or parts of it in any way. Generally I would give you the benefit of the doubt, but for a number of reasons I believe that your claim is false and you are still using significant parts of our code:

Your front end code shows remarkable similarities to bustabit's code, e.g. the rendering of the graph and the WebSocket protocol.
At its launch, moon3d.io was undeniably pirating bustabit's v1 code. You have admitted this in private.
Large parts of your FAQ were straight up copy and pasted from bustabit.com. Since then you've changed some words to obfuscate it a little but the plagiarism is still evident.

To Daniel and the team, we are still open to sharing our code with you privately, so you can take a look at all the changes we have made

That's what I asked you to do in my last email more than a month ago, but you have yet to follow through or even acknowledge my email. If I were a more cynical person I might suspect that you're delaying in order to reimplement or obfuscate bustabit's code.
