It may (or may not) be legal, but CT walks on very thin ice. Removal of copyright claims is illegal under lgpl.
No no no!
GPL or LGPL take no stance for copyright claims or information about original author.
I tried to find such a sentence when I studied the licenses but I could not because there isn't any.
I have understood there is a copyright law. I don't know where to find it but I believe it exists.
It means the copyright holder must be mentioned also for (L)GPL code, regardless of what the license says.
GetMem wrote he studied the CT components and the reference to original authors in some form or another is there, at least in a text file.
It should satisfy the copyright law (although I have not studied it).
Thaddy, why are you doing this? You have an obsession to bash CT with any excuse. When one argument turns out to be a lie, you pull another from your hat. For example now you wrote wrong information about LGPL, lied about it. The purpose clearly is to turn this thread into yet-another abstract FUD against CT where facts, opinions and lies mix together so that nobody knows what is what.
Thaddy, I ask you as anybody else to stick with facts. If you still claim that CT violates the copyright rules, please at least get the exact evidence and details.
This feels so completely useless, we could have used the time better. At least I have many things to do but now I look after FUD and lies in a forum thread.
I guess Thaddy and many others are mesmerised and hypnotized by Jon Lennart's blogs. Oh boy, I can imagine how he enjoys it! He is extremely good in manipulation.
Again and again it happens that somebody reads the blogs and then writes here in a state of holy anger. It is like a hypnotic religious experience, facts just don't matter for them. The same arguments continue even if you prove they are lies.
Again and again ...
There was "timofonic", now "sam707" even explicitly mentioned his inspiration. Thaddy continues the same thing ...
Are there any anti-hypnosis rehab centers for such cases?
Anyway, the next post containing lies or abstract FUD in this thread will be deleted without questions.
