When its my IP i can enforce it, send them a DMCA or sue them for damages. They used my stuff without having a license to do so. If they slapped an own license on it, granting others permission to it, that would increase the damages.
- amelius 4y agoOk, but you'd have to prove it.
- blueflow 4y agoFor git repos, include the current revision of your master branch as metadata to an SEPA transaction. This is a legal solid proof that you had code at time X.
- amelius 4y agoInteresting. Has anyone automated this? It reminds me of: https://notary.bitcoin.com/ https://notary.bitcoin.com/ However, it does not prove that your version of the repository was the first and original one.
- blueflow 4y agoI consider the SEPA tagging a secondary method. If someone was to contest the authorship of my code, i'd challenge them to explain why certain passages were written in that way. Or how specific magic numbers were picked. Linus for example used the birth date of his daughters as magic numbers for the reboot() syscall. Generally i do recommend to avoid cryptocurrencies for anything serious. Its public image is beyond repair.
