Why do you have a Royalcoin copyright in your Source Code?

Were you the original Royalcoin Dev's or did you just forget to remove the Royalcoin.org copyright from your Source Code and just cloned it?

It was there since I started doing any dev work on sexcoin. I found a tarball of royalcoin a while back and it was the closest match to our source I've seen.

way back in the begining of this thread, "chinsu" is the original developer who created the coin. He's long gone according to local legend.

here's some details on the source code i found for royalcoin http://www.sexcoinforum.org/index.php?topic=567.0

the new bitcoin .9 port is direct from bitcoin, with none of the .6 sexcoin code

edit: well, obviously scrypt.c etc.stuff is in .6 sexcoin and the new .9 sexcoin but those were never sexcoin or royal coin copyright anyway. Plus we now have the SSE2 optimized stuff included etc.


There are a lot of questions around the very first release. Chinsu released the code in windows binary format and the source was only available via a google drive download. This code had fragments of royalcoin code. It also 'crashed more than a stock car' and would not build in Linux. Our suspicion was that Chinsu had hired a dev to do the code, and so there was code from many different coins showing up. When nomaxpi, digger and I started working on cleaning up the code, the copyrights were there.  Our focus was on getting the code running, not chasing down what came from where. As far as I was concerned, if royalcoin had a copyright tag, then there was probably royalcoin code somewhere in there, so the copyright stayed.
