Your code has been copied and license violated.

Hi,

I came across this repository recently: https://github.com/mgp25/Telegram-Bot-API

And i noticed, the guy copied maximum of your methods/functions including complete documentation and other things and as per your license, It seems like a clear case of violation since he doesn't even bother to give proper credit or follow the license.

I informed him too but he doesn't seem to bother and defends himself.

Just thought I'd give heads up as being a developer myself, I know the value of ones work and time! Also, It's never a good idea to steal someones work and take credits.

P.S Here's the issue i had created: mgp25/Telegram-Bot-API#4

Hi @codninja

Thanks for reporting. I'll look into the issue and see what i can do about it.

It does seem like he has copied a lot of the code.

No problem.

The guy blocked me from the repo and he even went on to delete the links i had posted which showed what he had copied. That's pathetic.

This author used to be the maintainer of the whatsAPI code base (which he didn't write but took over after "venemous" stopped supporting) which was a hacked Whatsapp api.

Recently WhatsAPI got a lot of cease and desist messages from whatsapp and they pulled the project all together. Looks like they needed a quick fix to get back into the messaging game and unfairly came here to pilfer.

That's bad form. :(
