Too similar :/

  Looks like OP literally plagiarized the code in that article (and changed one or two variable names) without giving credit. Really bad form...

    Yes, I totally understand the concern. I obviously referred the blog post and there was no intention of mine to plagiarize the content and take sole credit. I am deeply indebted to the open source community and to all the people sharing their knowledge on the internet. Its because of people like them, I am able to learn and grow throughout. I'll do the needful and add credits to the article wherever possible. Thanks.

    Agree, and I have to say the note he later added to his blog (not even on GH) doesn't sound too convincing. I think he did a great job demonstrating this, and also the discussion on HN brought the original pyimagesearch.com blog post to people's attention. That's a net positive. I'm wondering about the code license though. The code posted on Github is licensed as MIT, but the pyimagesearch code doesn't seem to indicate any license (I downloaded it by registering my email address).

      If there is no explicit license that comes with the code, copyright applies by default and you can't reproduce the code without permission from the author (at least in theory).
