Low Memory Chat 

Yeah zMinimap isn't that great for a chat mod.

...

Anyway here is a diff on zChat and your addon.

you clearly used my code.

You are supposed to ask the people if they allow you to use their code.

Yes, you used zChat. thats what I'm saying. I'm the author.

i think sit mod needs 2 be ACEd, kould make it veen MORE LOW MEMORY

<3 zChat

I stole indie's code for tekChat, so it's actually me whose rights you're infringing upon.

Therefore I demand you give this addon a better name, one that takes more than 3 seconds to think up.

What is everyone's up-tight deal with code borrowing lately?

EVERYONE borrows code on any mod that is re-written, re-coded, re-vamped, or improved. Even if you tried to re-write the entire thing, it still shades the original works of SOMEONE, perhaps even someone's code that you never looked at.

People need to over themselves! Honestly.

Code is freebased, and unless your addon actually INCLUDES the GPL (General Public License or whatever its called) embedded in each file associated, then you shouldn't be complaining about it. Perhaps it's in good taste to ask first, and to an extent I agree (although even I hardly do so prior to recoding some of mine - I just give credit to the authors as anyone should), but claiming something as *YOURS* is asinine at best.

jaliborc did give semi-credit under his "Based In" heading. I feel he should have stated that as a "Credit To" category instead, and include the addon name AND authors of the original works he did research on before coding his own project. But IMHO, that's all he *has* to do.

Industrial and Tekkub, both of you are better than this. I'm very disappointed in both your reactions as they seem overly confrontational. If your both just f'ing around, then I apologize for my tongue lashing here.

If you do this, I will kill you.

Ace does nothing but bloat small addons such as this. Ace is intended to make addon coding and addon coding practices easier and better. It will NOT improve the efficiency of an addon such as this. My guess is it would make it several times less efficient.

As for the whole credit thing, I think he provided all credit needed unless Industrial specifically included a license stating otherwise.

Well since Tekkub has left the Ace Forums and not sure if Industrial has too, I guess they need a new forum to get all assanine in. Congrats Wowinterface Forums! Totally ROFLing.

Someone's a little slow. I can't talk for indie (yes he's really an ass), but people should know by now that I do not believe in copyrights at all.

However I will point out that "unless your addon actually INCLUDES the GPL" is wrong. The author retains the copyright no matter what unless they explicitly state that they are forfeiting that right. Open source or not, if you can prove you wrote it first, the copyright is yours. Hell first thing I learned in my engineering design class was "even if you're just sketching ideas on a napkin at a bar, sign and date it. I [the instructor] have actually used those napkins in court... and no judge in his right mind will question the authenticity of a sketch drawn on a bar coaster."

I do still think the addon name blows and should be renamed though.

Most people don't care if you use a little of there code as long as you ask them first, it's about being polite and asking them first so they don't find out a week later you grabbed a bunch of stuff without asking.

Oh also, MEMORY IS USELESS just because you use 1 byte of memory doesn't mean your mod performs better then the one that uses 200 KB.

Add cursor moving with arrow keys without holding Alt, add features on your To Do List and it's done. Don't add anything else if you want it to remain LM.
