There are no loopholes to the license. The source code must be provided, or its in violation of the license. It's pretty solid, I'm not aware of any loopholes.

Further, your claim that no one would seek out and report malicious plugins is proven false by the very existence of this thread.
We talking about the same company that takes its sweet time to fix game bugs right?

You didn't get my meaning. I don't see anyone seeking out the author and stopping the redistribution. He can freely distribute his plugins on other outlets. I'll add him to the list of people who maintain dproto.

Thanks for the report!
I sent him a message that I posted here.
I was not sure how to post a file through PM :/

And AM can warn people not to use these plugins.

I've spoken to the creator of the plugins and this is being sorted, thanks again for bringing it to our attention.

B..But they still not provide a .sp to their plugins...


I have recently seen also a plugin with a dev backdoor. The developer provides the source.
I asked him for that backdoor and he replied he uses this for supporting server and find issues.
The plugin queries a webserver to check for dev access and provide him(only him?) rcon, rootflag and some game benefits.
Afaik he hasn't mentioned this function anywhere.
It's clear, many server operators can't read source code to find such kind of functions.
My question, is this a violation of any AM, SM or GLP rules?

No give souce - GPL violation
Adding backdoors - AM rule violation

Why can't you stop using those plugins? Everything that is out there is already available at this site with source, and full/partial support. You are just making things complicated for yourself.

Um, when did I say I ever used those shit plugins?
I never used them and never intend to.
The reason why I reported these plugins are stated by asherkin and the other guy very specificly.
Why don't you stop being aggressive?
As you said, if you think I'm wasting my time doing this,
You are wasting your time trying to convince me I'm wasting my time.
I recommend you just ignore this thread and just move on if this kind of deal triggers you this much.

And to be fair, all I did was report the plugins, couple of short replies and after plugin got blacklisted,
I stopped caring.
I didn't post anything new, I didn't make another deal out of this.
I didn't make anything more complicated.
Until you showed up again.

You are like a guy on the youtube comment sections telling everyone that you have a better taste of music and how new generation musics sucks whene he only scratched the surface and never tried to find good musics.
Shows people how much insecure he is.

I hope you enjoy this video: https:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JcmylxQ0ma4

Thanks for your odd ball description of me. Btw I'm not even on YouTube, but that's a mute point.

Sorry, if I find it hard that some people have nothing better to do than find stupid shit and expect it to be fixed when they would never use it themselves as you claimed. I'm not trying to convince you of anything. I said it before that it's nearly impossible to stop this activity and you reviving this thread made it clear.

I'll just grant you your wish. I'll refrain myself from posting anything anymore.
