Well, this is more complicated than it seems at first! Looks like degika bought a casino script from swaga. But here's the thing - swaga didn't actually make the script. He resold it illegally after getting it from the real developers at phoenix-gambling! I even found a comment phoenix-gambling left a few months ago explaining the whole situation.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.61782027They said swaga took their open source script from GitHub without permission and acted like he created it himself! Super sketchy. degika probably had no idea since swaga was acting like the legitimate creator.
This couldn't be further from the truth but hey people on here will say anything to get that 1 post / merit.
Phoenix gambling is not the original dev of the code I'm selling and they have 0 rights to it - They're not even a legal entity. Anyone with half a brain is free to download the code and use it OR (like i did) change it, modify it and sell it as a standalone product.
I can provide you with over 10 individual cases where Phoenix gambling scammed their own customers by not providing them with what they promised - Original developer would NOT do that.
Ive had this discussion before and I'm not planning to again. I'm allowed to change the code that is public and brand it as my own given the enough code was changed.
The OP knew all these info prior to buying anything from me - He is still aware of it all but he will say anything just to hurt my business.
First of all it's not always about 1 post or merit that a user intends why he/she try to share information on the forum. The decodx is a decent member and has been actively contributing on the forum for a long time and calling such things isn't fair at all.
Well whatever you said falls into stealing of someone else's work and modifying it then claiming it as yours. That's a type of copyright theft if I'm not wrong, and selling of a code that's free is a type of scamming somehow. The public code always comes with a license and selling someone's work without their permission is illegal.
And when it comes to OP, I can say that he got frustrated because someone sold him a code that's available freely on Github and that's why he created this thread and leaked the code. In fact he didn't leaked the code because the code was already freely available on Github.
Im sorry but I feel you haven't read my reply at all.
But if you're interested in the topic please join my discord server.
It's not so black and white as people here make it seem. Phoenix gambling is a scamming group of people who stole the "code" and now is pretending they made it.
Original developers published their 1st version of the code long time ago and gave permission to anyone to change it, modify it and resell it.
I'm one of the people who took the code and changed it and what I sell is not only the code - I provide support, i wrote the installation guide (3 versions so far) and I provide updates and bug fixes - Please note that Phoenix gambling is still selling the code full of bugs (over 100 of them) and they refuse to fix any - because they think its not necessary or because they cant? you decide.
I'm doing this community a favor for taking the garbage code and turning it into a usable piece of software but hey, as they say, do good, get fucked.
Also, to add a final note to this discussion as i cant keep checking this thread to reply:
The source code in question is NOT AN OPEN SOURCE CODE.
It was simply published by the original devs as they didn't want to continue developing the software as it was full of bugs already.
It has no open source licences and other bullshit - It's free for all piece of code.
As we bought from one guy, he toke money and never install that script/service.
We decide to share to public, including installation document.
Demo :
https://demoscript.online/Note - do not buy from them, when they get money , they never answer or asking more money...
Good luck.
For Installation Document
TG - @zenXXo
If you decide to make it public then the right way to do it is on github, that way the community can make it a better code.
But here are some ethical problems, you should not make public the work from a developer even if you pay for the code, because if that developer wanna sell more copies then you just kill his business and all his work.
If the code comes with the Installation Documentation then you should install it yourself.
But I'm of the idea that talking is the right way to fix any problem, and this kind of action never end well. But good luck anyway.

You say you're a developer? Then you should know that's not how software licenses work. See, when someone writes a program and shares it under a certain license they still have rights over that code. Stuff like how it can be used, changed, or passed around and unless you wrote it yourself or got the ok from whoever did, you can't just sell it. Thats infringing on their intellectual property rights.
I can provide you with over 10 individual cases where Phoenix gambling scammed their own customers by not providing them with what they promised - Original developer would NOT do that.
Thats not the topic of this discussion. Besides,
two wrongs don't make a right.Ive had this discussion before and I'm not planning to again. I'm allowed to change the code that is public and brand it as my own given the enough code was changed.
Oh, you're absolutely, positively, 100% wrong!
You are allowed to modify and use open-source code for your own purposes, but you must still adhere to the terms of the original license, no matter how much of the original code was changed.
please read my last response.
The software in question is not "open source".
it was simply published by original devs right before they quit the project.
It's not like I took an open source code for something and decided to proclaim it mine - The devs explicitly allowed anyone to take it and use it as a base for their project. And so I did.
If the code in question has a licence - WHO is the owner of that code? give me a full name and address so I can contact them and ask a few questions.
