It humors me as to how much of this you have stolen.

a) Cypher's auction house information
b) Apoc's CircularQueue class
c) Shynd's ManagedFasm class

I'm just getting started.

Fair enough kynox.

However, I was under the impression that Apoc's CircularQueue as well as Shynd's ManagedFasm were really truly under public domain. I suppose it is a bit rude of me to not credit anyone for the beta. I'll put together a list, seeing as I did take and tweak a lot of really good code.

As I mentioned before: this is a false positive. DrGoldbags, MMOInside, and MMOInside.WoW are merely packed.

Your packers are terrible. Security through obscurity is for losers.

As we have all said, time and time again, credits are not valid when you start profiting from their work.

@kynox (I would have PM'd this, but...)

I obfuscated in hopes of stopping everyone from seeing what you've uploaded- for obvious reasons (my personal security being the foremost). I'd really, really appreciate it if you removed that link.

If you don't, I understand.

I don't see how it's "stealing" when somebody posts a large amount of code on a public forum and says "here's some code you can use."

Profiting from it is pretty shady, but it isn't like Cypher licensed his code under the GPL. As for Apoc and Shynd's work, I'm not familiar with it.

May I introduce you to respect, common sense and conscience?

They share the code/information so we can learn from it - is that so hard to understand? This "it's not licensed" argument is beyond retarded.

How can you guys live with yourselves.

For the time being. Depends on how you intend to proceed with the sale of this and how you intend to contribute back the community.

We posted information with the expectation that people would have the moral decency to realize taking someones work and profiting from it is extremely indecent.

If someone took your published findings and started selling it, would you not be just a "little" annoyed that what you had posted with the hope that it would build the community and create some form of collaboration of users sharing information had been for nothing?

A perfect example of theft is witnessed in the following thread, where people actually helped him on this very subject. http://www.mmowned.com/forums/wow-me...ion-entry.html

It's kinda messed up. I think that maybe there's a line to be drawn between using public code to farm and sell gold and whatnot, and actually trying to sell/pass it off as your own.

At the very least, you should get permission and give credit to the people who wrote the code being used. That's sort of the standard in the open and shared source community.

I'll see what I can do. I have indeed taken more than I've given so far, but I'm not going to be a dick.

Honestly though, we're all kinda splitting hairs..

It's a result from the same thing happening with eBot.

1) JuJu joins community
2) JuJu takes code
3) JuJu publishes bot from said code
4) JuJu profits without even an acknowledgement of his sources

Well I hope I've differentiated myself from JuJu, if only a little.

Difference being you're not french.

I have no clue what this even does... explain
