This is bullshit. BRS (The Burst Reference Software) is GPLv3.

If you "borrowed" code of it, (which you didn't by the way, you simply forked the whole code base and added some own extensions such as PledgeService etc.) then your code is also GPLv3 and withholding the source is a violation of the GPLv3 license.

Analyzing your diction, I'd say the "development team" is a weird mixture of BHD guys and some former BurstNation "developers". Maybe you would like to add websockets too? 

In any case, using Java which has a nifty bytecode that can be decompiled pretty well proves your GPLv3 license violation, so cut the shit please.

I'm not against this project per se - any PoC coin instance can be valuable IMHO, but please try to maintain a slightly more professional approach.
