Let's try an analogy here.
OSBot is a high school, and we're both in the same Mathematics class. You're sitting next to me during a test.
I spend some time solving a problem and create a solution (SSF).
You decided not to spend time yourself and looked at my test to see how I did it, and copied my work (exactly).
And then you finished the test and gave it to the teacher (SDN testing).
Now I'm realizing that you copied my Math test, and intend on getting a good grade from it (money).
While cheating on a school test may not be illegal, it's against the rules in a school as it's academic dishonesty.
You never approached me asking if you could use my format, nor had you notified me. I had to find out on my own that you were going to be selling it on the SDN.
You're asking me why you shouldn't copy my test as it's "legally right at my [your] fingertips".
Now you want to re-do the test as you've been caught.
I know where I go to school, the teachers would laugh at such a proposal.
I don't recall giving much input on QBot's script rather than mentioning that it was a cheap rip off. I never launched any sort of complaint, or made any comment after that.
I'd be happy to compete against QBots.
I'm not happy having to compete against myself.
Your analogy is flawed.
This is not a test.
The analogy would go more like this.
Dash and GG are both in the same math class and they are studying for the test. Dash prepares study notes and ideas of how to do certain questions, and posts his info for the class to see online.
GG looks at his notes, takes his own notes based on that and implements it into his own ideas.
You both take the test and come out with amazing results.
-------------
There is nothing wrong with what GG did.
If I am writing a paper, would I want to get my point across in 10 pages, or would I do it in 5 if I could? GG simply noticed that you picked the superior method, and decided to also use the same method.
------------
Overall, I would say grats to both of you for making good working scripts. I am excited to see the competition.
