Okay, I truly do not understand the DMCA situation.

I just need clarification on this. If my understanding is incorrect, please let me know

Allied-Modders has SourceMod/SourcePawn licensed under GPL v3, why is the code not able to be shared? Isn't that the whole purpose of this license? To share, colaborate, and edit code as freely as possible?

Kigen alleges that the license was violated by the SMAC developers when they removed the copyright headers, which were originally included at the top of EACH file. SMAC apparently borrows a lot of code from Kigen Anti Cheat.

So would it still be in violation if we readd the apropreate credits and headers?

Edit: Also, if the plugin & project is out of date, not downloadable, illegal to distribute, and inefficient why does this sub forum still exist. I think we should remove this subforum.
