[IRCServices] Copyright Violations

[Pinto, Joao Luis (J.)]

Hi,
I don't agreed with you, "could have said a bit more about who originally
coded services", according to GNU, one should preserve the CopyRight notices
however it seems to me that the coptyrigth contents are responsabilty of the
original author, if he/she made CopyRight clear there makes no sense someone
who starts a modified version to extend the original CopyRigth.
I am coding PTlink Services, I sarted changing Andy Services 2.4.4, some
months ago, I kept all (C)opyrigth notices as based on Andy Services,
however if I continue changing most of the original code (nor just adding a
few line), some notices may disappear from somefiles, every CopyRigth notice
is applied to a specific code file, If I change that file let's say 80%, I
will propably change it to my CopyRight. 

Just some ideas :)

I've downloaded the source from their FTP site, and they've left 99% of
all copyrights in place -  apart from adding a few lines. I agree they
could have said a bit more about who originally coded services, but it's
no where near as bad as Magick. They haven't even gone to the trouble of
changing the email address for bug reports - this annoys me. Andy (and
myself) are sick and tired of having to support all these people who run
modified versions of Services.

On top of this, the dude who is coding these services doesn't seem to have
a clue about what he's breaking while he tries to add stuff. I'd stear
very clear of this branch.
