Actually, Russia is a signatory of the Berne convention, so international copyright law is very much in effect there. The license grants you rights, if the license is invalid, you get no rights, not all rights. If you don't agree with our licensing choices, do not write SourceMod plugins / extensions.

If some one were to actually get the plugin, however the way, couldn't they just use a hexeditor and edit the IP?

I don't have any problems with license. Copyright law does work here... sometimes.
I'm just saying GPL and LGPL licenses are not officially acknowledged here and they hold no weight in court.

Just don't do this. This is exactly the kind of violating Sourcemod, we all want to prevent.
And think of this: If the script he want to protect, is really worth it and he wrote it by himself, he would be easily able to script it on his own. But he isn't..and that leads me to many dark thoughts of what he is up to.

There is no reason some one should make their plugin for one server, if you are afraid some one is going to steal your "well written" code then dont own a server.

But people buy and sell paid private requests all the time, and competition exists.

... annd you still have to give the source to the plugin to the requester.. The only real reason you would want to put an IP lock on your plugin is if you are attempting to sell with the intent of not giving the source.
