I'm confused, does us copyright law cover the entire planet?
This place isnt the place for illegal activity? what do you think it is when someone moves more than 10k via bitcoin?
oh wait there I go assuming US law is world wide.
I do find it interesting the die hard freedom folks like to ban people whom they disagree with.
shouldnt yall be able to counter solidcoin publicly without going to this centrally managed method of crying to the kings?
The whole solidcoin hate, and DMCA notices is just lame as hell, sure seems antithesis to the ideas behind the community.
Topic: Ban SolidCoin - page 3. (Read 8272 times)
it makes it less clear that the code it free for all and does not belong to you like the rest of it - which you allow to be used only for solid coin
and i think it is on purpose
nobody is going to sue you, but it is bad manners. you got the bitcoin code for free, just do what they ask. is it so hard to copy paste it?

include is not loose, its quite clear. include means that it needs to follow the stuff its gets included with.
why would you want to remove it anyway? its just stupid

Include is quite loose legally, it clearly states the MIT license applies to Bitcoin in the license.txt . What do you lose by having it your way vs having it the way it is now? You think stating something is licensed under MIT without including all of the mit license text makes it not so? It's quite laughable.
please bad coinhunter/solidcoin now.

it doent say you have to mention it in your license , it says you have to include it
The definition of "include" is quite loose. Like I said if you think you are right and want to win $0 because of some semantics then go ahead. SolidCoin is free software, it is open source software.
If you're worrying about such semantics I wonder why you have no real problems in your life.
the license is very clear

It clearly states the MIT license applies to original bitcoin code. People can easily determine what the MIT license is. If you have a problem with it take it to the courts to prove your claims and get damages of $0 . In the mean time keep crying a river, it's enjoyable.
Here's the full text of license.txt:
As I posted previously, there is a very clear "The above copyright notice and this permission notice..." term in the original license. You can use your file editor's search function to see that the required notice is not in license.txt.

We welcome people modifying, extending and making projects for SolidCoin. We realize people don't want to have to get permission to use, or have to release source code to their projects if they don't won't to.
HOWEVER.
The SolidCoin source cannot be used in projects which are not in close relation to SolidCoin or do not work with the project (currently defined by the project hosted at http://solidcoin.info). We reserve the right to cancel this open source license to any project which has a negative impact on the SolidCoin network or SolidCoin users.
Your projects source code doesn't need to be released if you use the source or derive from it. A credit or note about using the source code would be welcome however. Businesses and companies are also free to use the source provided all other conditions are met.

SolidCoin complies with the MIT license, it's included in license.txt which is included with every download. Just because you want it to not comply doesn't change the fact it does. 
Just ask Luke to DMCA it again...
I'm sick of this trash. Can we delete all SolidCoin-related topics? The recently released SolidCoin source code continues to violate the original software license of the code stolen from the Bitcoin project. This forum is no place for illegal activities. Especially when the license is so easy to comply with.
