***Notice: I reviewed the following carefully, after several people pointed out how stupid and completely out of line it was. Although I wish to publicly retract the statement, I will not delete it from the record and try to pretend it never happened. Please see my
Public Apology to Tovok in the Chit Chat section
***Stealing? I didn't know there was a cost associated with your code. How does infopop feel about your "copyright" of something based on their intellectual property? Based on what you're doing, I'd say I've made enough modifications to your hack to call it my own and put my own copyright there.
I've been more than impressed with the general attitude about sharing and programming for the good of all around here, and out of all the great hacks available, yours seems to be the only one with a copyright line.
God know's, If LK enforced the same idea about copyrights, We would all have a list of copyright notices about 6 or 7 deep at the bottom of each page (he's probably also incorporate a copyright notice we couldn't figure out how to undo).
I think you are being extremely foolish, and selfish. You should take extreme pride in knowing that the stats hack is very good and that, judging by this thread, many people are using it with satisfaction.
I think that out of all the people who are going to look at the stats page, none of the common users are going to give a flying #$#%@ who holds the copyright. The only people for whom your name recognition will count are those of us around here that are actually using the hack.
I don't know, I'm just trying to understand your motive for putting there in the first place, and I just can't figure it out. Maybe you can tell us why this is so *extremely* important to you, or make us understand why your hacks are so different from everyone elses? Until then, don't break your arm trying to pat yourself on the back.
