Also! Why would it be a plug - if you can download my code for free off of his website!? ... and give him a donation for him using my code.

  Look, code937. I will simply say that all that what you say is a lie and was cooked up cleverly. You don't provide a name of yourself, a history about you, nothing. while the guy who wrote the code, has publicitly a name, a history behind ( http://www.class.pm/about/ http://www.class.pm/about/ ). He has a reputation to hold, and because he is a professional, i doubt that he would do such a thing, like appropriating code. He is keeping it quiet, while you have the big mouth.

    > i doubt that he would do such a thing, like appropriating code Writing javascript for a living is a funny thing considering it's usually client-side code that's downloaded by the user, meaning it "escapes" into the real world for anyone to copy / slap their name on it. Just because someone is "a professional" doesn't mean that they're ethical. It just means they have a public image. And so far, the evidence everywhere else in this thread is pointing towards code937 as the original author.

      Any data can be faked. Just because of some release dates, you name that evidence? Maybe the classic.pm guy wrote the plugin ealier, had it on a site, this 937 guy got it and put it up for sale. There is no way to prove it, but I do think that classic.pm is the real author, based on his profile. And still because I simply don't see the reason to do it ( copying, that is ). Also take in account the blog post: he thinks is strange to get a DMCA take down for a GPL-ed code, why would anyone take the effort to write that post, unless, is very close to the truth?

        Hi ccozan - sorry i couldn't respond straight away, i wrote this last night but because im so new posting restrictions stopped me from sending it. Put yourself in my position just for a moment. I found this website distributing my code passing it off as their own, i send an email, hear nothing, leave a comment, hear nothing, then send a notice - only to receive the same notice back 4 hours later, a blog written a forum thread started. I gave him the chance to change his mind by sending an email to him because i hate internet politics and i simply wanted him to remove his attribution to my code. Please read my other posts because i even gave him the benefit of doubt by suggesting perhaps a friend had "written" the plugin and he's sticking up for someone who is lieing to him. However some time later he hadn't responded to my email but he had created a response on this thread making out i was a "fake", so at that point i signed up and started to give my facts. I have an email from him which he sent to my marketplace and host saying he wrote this plugin in May 2012, he has since updated his website to say so and then backtracked when i pointed out to him his site was cached. Also the same effect to his donation button which he has since removed but can also be found in a cache. My name is Kevin Steerment, i work for a company called codeworks (however this project was a personal project) and i am the original author of the code that he claimed to write. I don't have a full on profile online because I never thought I would need one, certainly not to prove who I am. I can't sit back and let that happen and then perhaps one day - this get back to me in a bad way. I have never slandered or badmouthed anyone including him, please read all my responses. I've tried to be very fair in the way I've written my responses but as you can understand I am a tad emotional about being accused of something that is simply not true. (So thats why I've defended myself, as anyone would) I'm happy to answer any additional questions you might have. He has now taken his website offline, removed his github account - not something he needed to do. I simply wanted him to remove my plugin. If he's reading this I want him to know that I simply came on this forum to respond to the false allegation which he started, not to cause any additional problems. It's a very strange situation because looking through his other work and projects - particularly an online photo editing tool - his skills go way beyond mine and the end result of his work is excellent, I'd even go as far as saying I'd recommend the photo editing tool. Which is why I'm so very very confused! I hope this can be brushed under the carpet and forgotten about now because i'm sure we all have more important things to be doing. Kevin
