Which means the contractor has grounds to sue him.
It should be mentioned however, that so far no lawsuit has happened regarding any sourcemod plugin. At least that I know of. Kigen filed a DMCA once. Worst case that you can expect to happen is a temp- or permban here. Doubtfully anyone will sue you over the amount of ~100 bucks tops (I assume you're not going to work on anything other than smaller stuff). But regardless, be prepared, and follow the license to not be vulnerable against lawsuits.

Done!

[Sdg]

So, nobody can tell me how to put the code?

I'm sure there are ways to obfuscate the SMX so publicly available compilers will not work effectively. If you're adding plugin protection (or hiring it out, just make sure you get the .sp too) so that others can't grab the SMX and plop it into their server and have it work, I would think that would be ok... I would have to look at the license again since I haven't perused it, but in my thinking, that would be ok.

I'm not any official voice for anything official - just more thinking out loud. There are more people here with far more knowledge regarding the legality of your concern.

I dont really understand what is the problem ..
I'm looking for something like this, but for sourcemod!

new const SERVERIP_PROTECTION[] = "69.162.68.76:27015" // Server IP Protection public plugin_init() { static ServerIP[32] get_user_ip(0, ServerIP, charsmax(ServerIP)) if(!equal(ServerIP, SERVERIP_PROTECTION)) set_fail_state("Sistema Anti-Robo Activado, eres un pendejo .l.") else log_amx("Modificacion de juego activada correctamente!") }

#include <amxmodx> #include <ColorChat> // En el caso de no tener este include borrar y poner un stock o como quieran new const miserver[ ] = "111.111.111.111:27015" //aqui pondran la IP del servidor en el cual estara este plugin new ServerIp[25] //Creamos variable de la ip del aservidor public plugin_init() { register_clcmd("say /ip", "ipcmd") //comando de /ip para saber cuando usan tu plugin en un sv register_logevent("checkip", 2, "1=Round_Start") //checkea la IP al principio de la ronda set_task(300.0, "ipcmd", 0, "", _, "b"); // Mensaje de aviso cada 300segundos de la IP del servidor get_user_ip(0,ServerIp,24,0) // Obtenemos la IP del servidor en el cual corre este code } public ipcmd(id) { ColorChat(id, GREEN, "[IP]^x01 La IP de este servidor es:^x04[^x01 %s^x04]", ServerIp) // mensae ._. } public checkip() { if (equali(ServerIp, miserver)) // Comparamos que la IP en el que corre el sv sea la misma que la de "miserver" return PLUGIN_CONTINUE //si son iguales, el plugin continua y no hace un carajo else server_cmd("quit"); // pero de no ser asi, se carea el server return PLUGIN_HANDLED //Handleamos y FIN } // SI NO TENES EL STOCK DEL COLOR CHAT, SACA EL INCLUDE Y PONE UN STOCK o nose ITCH_HIGH // ESTE PLUGIN SE RECOMIENDA AGREGAR AL PLUGIN QUE QUIERES PROTEGER

If they get hold of your .smx unintentionally, and really think it is worth stealing, they can use the free .smx compiler that is posted on this very forum to remove your fix.

That being said, there are plenty of ways to make your code only work for you. Do a google search with the search term, "site:alliedmods.net". Something like get IP. Or "smlib" should do the trick.

If your plugin uses a native for another one and you use IfLibraryExists or something or the other, they won't be able to run it unless they have the accompanying plugin, or make a plugin specifically to make dummy-natives / library so yours will run.

The best thing to do is just make sure your server is hardened against ways to hack it.

Some countries doesn't even acknowledge open source licensed products. In our laws there is no such thing as free open source license and it is not allowed to use such products in government sector for example.
Even if they live in the same country, i doubt anyone would even bother to start investigation.

Easy answer - no. You plugin can be easily opened and modified and there is no protection against that.

I'm currently using this but me strip mistake, does not work.
Thanks to Brrdy by the code.

#include <sourcemod>

public Plugin:myinfo =   
{ 
    name = "TEST", 
    author = "Brrdy", 
    description = "TEST", 
    version = "1.00", 
    url = ""
};

public OnPluginStart()
{
        new Handle:enabled = FindConVar("net_public_adr");
        decl String:convar[64];
        GetConVarString(enabled, convar, sizeof(convar));
        if(StrEqual(convar, "1.1.1.1:27016"))
        {
                ServerCommand("say yes");
        }
        else
        {
                ServerCommand("exit");
        }
}
