From 99e5ce711b16d95093bf4b458e2a1b8864ec505b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Duke Leto Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2020 07:23:55 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Update AUTHORS This repo uses the terms "The Hush developers" and "The Supernet developers" without them being defined, so we define them explicitly. This repository was forked from jl777/komodo.git at a time when it had no LICENSE, AUTHORS or DEVELOPER_AGREEMENT files. I advised jl777, as an expert with 23 years of experience with open source and free software license, for him to fix it. He did not listen to my advice correctly and hastily added some files to the LEGAL/ subdirectory and added himself as sole author, without consulting all people who had commit rights in the past and present. Additionally the new developer agreement including wording about closed source binaries that I would never have agreed to: https://github.com/jl777/komodo/tree/master/LEGAL Every source code file in the repo refers to files in the root directory of the repo, so jl777's "LEGAL hack" is not even legally binding in his own code repository, and doesn't even exist in this repository, because Hush v3 forked from KMD before I advised jl777 to fix the issue in his repo. For the purposes of this code repository, "The Supernet developers" refers to people who were in AUTHORS previous to this commit. This commit clarifies the situation by defining "The Hush developers" explicitly and the fact that jl777 should not be considered a Hush Developer, unless he agrees to our new developer agreement. Additionally, The Supernet developers only released software under MIT/GPLv2 and the new policy of The Hush developers is to release all code under GPLv3 and to pursue violation enforcement to the fullest extent possible by law. --- AUTHORS | 9 ++++++++- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/AUTHORS b/AUTHORS index 05647f613..b83e444e6 100644 --- a/AUTHORS +++ b/AUTHORS @@ -1,4 +1,11 @@ -jl777 https://github.com/jl777 +# The Hush Developers + Duke Leto https://github.com/leto DenioD https://github.com/DenioD + +# The SuperNET Developers + +jl777 https://github.com/jl777 +Duke Leto https://github.com/leto +DenioD https://github.com/DenioD
