Notice of copyright infringement #316
Comments
The libsecp256k1 library was included at the source level and their copyright notices are intact. the file iguana_secp.c is calling the licsecp256k1 functions and I wrote them, so I did not think that it made sense to add the copyright notice of the functions it was calling. can you please point out the specific code in iguana_secp.c that you feel is infringing your copyright? I assure you that any file that is externally created retains its copyright notices, unless there was an oversight made. I just dont see any such in iguana_secp.c Please tell me what code inside iguana_secp.c that you wrote. If I overlooked any or included more than fair use principles allow, I will immediately correct this. |
uh. Come on, almost the entire file is copied, you even copied the comments verbatim -- https://github.com/jl777/SuperNET/blob/master/iguana/iguana_secp.c#L455 |
You mean the single test function that is #ifdef disabled? /*
#ifdef test_schnorr void test_schnorr_threshold(void ctx) {
} I have removed this from the source tree (dev branch). Thank you for finding this single function that was still there and not deleted in a file without the libsecp copyright notice. Let me know if you find any other functions you wrote in my files. I have no idea what you mean by saying almost the entire file is copied. Are you seriously claiming that you have copyright for functions like: bits256 bitcoin_pubkey33(secp256k1_context *ctx,uint8_t *data,bits256 privkey) it uses the bits256 data type that is something I made, so how can you claim that you wrote it? I dont remember if falsely accusing someone is slander or libel. 1 out of 24 functions in the file, and one that was ifdef'ed out does not equal "almost the entire file" |
https://github.com/jl777/SuperNET/blob/master/iguana/iguana_secp.c
And many other files contain large amounts of code copied directly from the Bitcoin project, libsecp256k1 and other places where I am a copyright holder. In all these cases this was performed in violation of the very permissive software license: stripping off all attribution and copyright notices.
Please remedy this.
Thanks.
