KuyaBot Update Version 3 - Even more functionality

in utopian-io •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hi @wehmoen. I did use and incorporate your code into my bot, but I did not mean to pass it off as my work - it is clearly stated in the post above that this is "thank's to your code."

I didn't fork it or use your github because the code includes other features different from your bot's primary function and also altered code to use my original json files. This post is an update on changes I made to Kuyabot.

I did change the word code and make it clickable so that it links to your github for your bot and added commentary to the bottom of my post indicating that these features are based on and taken primarily from your SteemDC Bot code

Adding this information AFTER being accused for plagiarism is the same as paying for something AFTER you got caught stealing it. Won't help!

Update: If you really didn't mean to put your name on somebody else's work, like you say, then see this as a learning. We are talking about Open Source software in the end, so using other people's work is actually what this here is all about. BUT it still has to be clear, which parts you took from another codebase. Simply copying the code from others and actually even removing all occurrences of the authors name is totally out of place. Furthermore, there are licenses that define what you can do with a software and what not. Even an Open Source license is still a license. At the time of writing your post, there actually wasn't any license at all in the original repository (@wehmoen's mistake actually). Strictly legally speaking you were not even allowed to use the software at all. Now there's a license. So feel free to use it within the given conditions. (Yes, this might be a bit fussy but we try to stick with the rules as good as possible.)

Could you please fix the api to the feed generator steemit widget? I was very happy with it :)

The original post had (thanks to the help of @wehmoen code) in the first paragraph.
