In no way I'm arguing (if I wrote correct) with you, I'm also not upset with anybody here. Let's say that is a bit of combination of different culture and, even more, my stability to some rules. Life rules... Moral rules...
As I know "Fair play" is a saying founded in United Kingdom. Till now I knew that new generation in Greece have lost the meaning of some Greek words (eg what really means respection, what means humanity etc etc). Now I'm seeing that is not only something happens in Greece. Seems that when there is "Business" in the game, there is no fair play.
As for me:
1.- For sure I'll not follow them by adding a global copyright. Should be childish, and there are several decades ago that I stoped being a child.
2.- For sure any change in my code will not effect earlier versions of my mods. I mean that I'll never release a version which will only prevents the mod to works if that mod is installed.
3.- I had in mind to release mods similar to their mods for free. Actually mods which will has as features only the features that they count as PRO. For this reason I already coded a PM Utilities mod. Bad for me, I've some moral rules that prohibit me for doing something like this.
Pitty that I don't have a rich vocabulary in English to be able to express my feelings. Most readers have thought that I'm talking as a user and they said to avoid using it. Some others said that is not illegal, while I never said that it is.
So the only that left out to me is to use a simple example. I'm feeling like that I've a Bakery and someone came infront of my entrance (but looking at the street) keeping in hand a sign "The best bread on the Bakery on the next street". Is not illegal, but is it fair?
Anyway..... Business kills anything... Money matters....
