Ditto. This has happened before on the boards. Notice the date and time here:
http://www.oxwall.org/forum/topic/11456I will quote dave during that time...

daveMy question would be what exactly can the OSCL authorities do to prevent this and prosecute violators. I would suspect not much more than a slap on the wrist at best which is very sad indeed. OSCL authorities are not going pursue the long expensive court battle over violation for each person that does this.
They could take away their plugins, ban them from Oxwall (how i dont know).
They could even contact the local authorities in the hope that the violator gets scared enough by the inquest that they stop.
They could even report them to some online violation management site that puts their name in an online "black list".
Or report them to the ISP in the hopes the ISP will terminate their connection and ban them from further business, in small countries this hurts worse than in large countries.
But all in all, the sad case is that in the digital online open source market not much can be done to the serious violators, unless there is something i dont know about. This is why all my scripts are encoded and not open source.
Puru and others have been very gracious in his allowing us to use the plugins on OUR sites. NOT everyones site but OUR sites, if you have a couple of sites that is ok as long as it is YOURS. It is based on the gentlemens agreement and i for one believe and take that agreement seriously and i do not violate it. Others take that as a chance to exploit kindness and that sadly is the way of the world.

I agree with dave as this is a very hard thing to punish someone over, and thus little risk for the hacker and big risk for developers and users of oxwall. Obviously, this is the reason we are targeted.
