Warning&My thots about copy rights

James was taling about that , that he's website sudenly dosen't work
  And asked me , he was thinking about that I did it.
Soo i cleared my thots and thinked about it.
   And i maybe know the answer we both know well ( James & Me ) that confuser visited my and james site.
And in some whay posted a post in my forum as a guest but whit administrator rights
soo i think he was on your's web too and seen that you have changet copy rights ,about who made this cms and link tho website [Powered By eoCMS]
I respected this and left untouched but you changet it to [ Powered By James ]
soo i think answer is pretty simple don't do that any more.
And this I think could be warning to other's too Smile
   Now only I'm waiting for confuser's answer about this I'm i correct about it or not. Smile

Re: Warning&My thots about copy rights

I did not have administration rights, its a bug that merely outputs the text "Admin". By removing the link back to eoCMS.com you are removing the attribution which is a required as per the Creative Commons. This can be waivered by asking me, soon I will add a system so you are able to waiver the need to having the Powered By eoCMS at the bottom of the footer by paying a small one off fee. Also changing it to Powered By James but keeping the link to eoCMS.com is perfectly fine as my name is James too Tongue

Please do not PM me requesting support or anything, use the forums, thats what they are here for

Re: Warning&My thots about copy rights

Yes, and we do not support sites that void the license, as that clearly means you do not respect us or the software we offer.

...WTF?!

Re: Warning&My thots about copy rights

or maybe they just dont want people to know what software they are running, so as to lessen the "hack threat"..

.. you never know..

.. but anyway, respect copyright, I think james keeping eocms link is with in boundary

.. but thanks for the heads up too eva, you site is fine I hope..

Re: Warning&My thots about copy rights

ye but i changed it to james but still had a link to eocms on the site just not in the footer

plus the site says it has a problem connecting to the database so that would be from 110mb


edit: plus if the theme is made by you then u should be able to change it and then just have a link somewere else on the site

Re: Warning&My thots about copy rights

First of all, by having "Powered By James" you are basically saying YOU made the software, which is not the case. Everything made for eoCMS must fall under our license, meaning you must have a visible link to eoCMS (not disguised) somewhere on the site. If you make a theme, nobody is denying you own that theme, but that doesn't give you the right to remove or replace our copyright.

...WTF?!

Re: Warning&My thots about copy rights

IF you read the license http://eocms.com/license.html you will see that it states all themes and mods are released under the same license as eoCMS unless otherwise stated within the theme or mod Wink

Re: Warning&My thots about copy rights

It's not an issue with eoCMS, it's an issue with 110mb and your database connection.

But you might want to change it back anyway. Roll Eyes

Re: Warning&My thots about copy rights

lol ok i will change it back when the site is reworking so i can see that i changed the right thing also wouldnt it just be easyer to have the file so that it is locked or somethin so that people carnt edit it then ? ...  so then does that mean if i make a plugin or a mod eocms owns that ?

Re: Warning&My thots about copy rights

No, it just means it needs to be released to meet our license requirements. Meaning you can't take that mod, strip it of any eoCMS accreditation, and then distribute it.

Re: Warning&My thots about copy rights

hell, if it was my software, I'd require users to change the copyright, that way they would get all the bug and feature requests, and I could keep programming Smile

Re: Warning&My thots about copy rights

This made me think... on SMF there's a little message in the footer saying something along the lines of 'Using DilberMC' or whichever theme you might be using. Could this be done somehow?

Seen a bug? Report it!

Re: Warning&My thots about copy rights
