I need to report a violation of the GPL, who do I contact? Someone has taken and is using code from SS13 inside their game.

we already have a punishment for using our code for your game, it's called using our code for your game

Should I post the details here, or message you privately, or would you like to talk via email/skype/discord? I have some evidence that I can send which proves the violation, in the form of images.

I've sent you an email, with an attachment that contains a zip with examples of the offending material. Hope that helps counter this sort of behavior in the future.

Scratch that, I couldn't send a zip, so I uploaded the zip and included a link to it. Sorry.

ok, I reviewed the server and what i could get my hands on for the game, and they stole Used without giving due credit ss13 code, but not from /tg/station, This most likely came from an old goon revision (r4407). (that we forked off of, so we have some of the same code)

I base that mainly off of the fact that they have the slower version of list2text, don't have the tg version of that, and don't have the get_turf() optimizations.

Goonstation r4407 was released under CC-BY-SA-NC so goon might want to look at giving them a talking for removing the credits and for using it for commercial uses.

/tg/station can only dmca/enforce gpl/agpl if includes code we created ourselves.
