I took it from github https://github.com/msg768/mysteemit and modified UI and backend. There is no sign of copyright on this Github page. How would I know that I am not able to officially use this code.
According to Github license I am allowed to copy, fork and modify this content. What is all the fuss about?
You can read the official Github license here. If I would have done something illegal than yes, flag me and do what ever you want. But if the author publicly places stuff on Github, does not write any copyright statements. How are we supposed to know that we cannot fork it. Well do not place it on public view on Github if you don't want it forked.
I believe that the law and common sense is on my side. If Jquery team says right now, "We meant to say that our library is not actually free please take down all the websites that use it.", would it make sense? Probably not.

I remember seeing a post on steemit and I found it.....Toward the bottom of the post it may not have been what @msg768 was trying to imply but it read to me that you were giving permission to use your code... Obviously with your recent show of disapproval that is not what you were trying to say but that is how I interpreted your post here... "LINKS

Unfortunately it doesn't translate well. I started working on tweaking the code and redesigning it myself. However if you recall I do want to chat with you about a possible business deal. I would be willing to give you my updated code so that you could use what you want if you wanted. The main thing I was going to ask you @msg768 if you would be interested in a royalty deal. I think this service would sell @ 0.002 cents. 0.001 for you and 0.001 for me. Or if you ever raised your price I would just raise mine to make sure you always got paid what you wanted. I think I can force your code to pay two people easily enough.
Your code interests me on a whole different level also. This would be what we would need to talk about privately because people here will steal your ideas as well as your code. I'm almost done with the huge tweak of your code that will make both of us a lot of money. I'll shoot you a message on steemit chat.
I don't think @yuriks2000 did anything but break the developers code. It's best to ask for permission and if you can't get that for some reason always give credit for the work of someone else.
The source code has to be public for transparency that I am not doing anything malicious with the active key. I do not recall saying it's there for everyone to copy it... and/or modify it and use it for commercial purposes. I have added a line to my github page which specifically states that I don't want anyone to fork my work.
I think your code is great. I have some suggestions. I was going to just do the work and hand it to you so you could see what finished code would or could look like. But if you don't want any suggestions even though you asked I'll drop it. Best of luck going forward to you. Be sure to put your license on your git for sure.
Greetings @yuriks2000 just a reminder that whatever is in "your post" is by default a claim of ownership unless addressed differently ofcourse having said that I want to thank you for letting me know this tool that otherwise I wouldn't be able to know at least for the moment and also for granting the opportunity to know @ausbitbank and many others here , it is supposed to be about sharing but also caring ... I will be riding my ferrari now to the moon ..if you want some rocks or dust from there let me know... lol (i like to laugh a lot hope all hard feelings are star dust by now)
@ausbitbank sir is really helping to keep steemit out of plaigarized content. I am also flagged by him once but then I learnt my lesson and my now on I don't even try to even reword any content. I have already upvoted him for a witness. He is my mentor on steemit and I actively follow him on steemit :) A big thumbs for you sir. I wish you all the health and all the luck :)
He's literally copied my code and made it free for now so he can charge later. Not cool because I did not give him permission to do so. You can see my tool HERE.
I am very glad that the situation has resolved for both sides @msg768. Yes, by the way, I think that in the future, you should prescribe your copyright, so as not to provoke anyone. According to Sharia law, not only the thief is punished, but also the one who provoked it. And it's hard to call a thiever thing, which lies literally on the ground. This is important if you are so worried about copyright. Good luck!
No one provoked anyone to steal anything here. You're just making shit up. And why would you even bring up the Sharia law? What makes you think someone like me would care what the Sharia law says? You do know that Islam is a fraud, right? If you don't, please do your due diligence or stay out of it... Also, the source code has to be public for transparency that I am not doing anything malicious with the active key.

Hello @pfunk! I see that both sides @msg768 and @yuriks2000 have come to an agreement. I'm very glad that there will be less quarrels on SteemIt. @msg768 removed his flags. It seems to me that you should remove the flags and the well-respected @adm too. Otherwise, @yuriks2000 can not pay the bonus (for the post) to @msg768, as they agreed. You, otherwise, will punish the @msg768. In addition, the @adm put the flag on another article of the @yuriks2000. Even @msg768 was surprised, he did not ask for it. This is abuse by the @asd, or simply inattention. It seems so to me. With respect to the participants SteemIt!
Too late, your code has been used by 'the offender' to become a an autotip spambot, ah well we get lots of Free 0.001 SBD tips, so I suppose that's one consolation prize for the annoyance of wallet spam.
You implementation to tip only engaged upvoters, commenters and resteemers seems much more reasonable IMO. I'm happy the conflict has been settled amicably.
Thanks for that. The main reason I think this should not be free is that it will encourage spam. There is a new feature request though to avoid tip spamming HERE. I think it's a very good idea and I hope they implement it soon to discourage wallet spamming. Having said that, I'm going to add a feature where users will be allowed to tip their engagers rather than followers. In other words, those who actually upvote, comment and/or resteem their posts.

Tip spamming on its own is worth downvoting imo, and add software plagiarism on top of it...

When you don't credit others for their work, it reflects very poorly on you and your view of the community. More thoughts on that here: Why You Should Care About Plagiarism and Fair Use.
