The only issue is that it is my work and I am the only one that chooses the terms of my work just as Lime Technology chooses the terms of their software and registration system.

 

John O'Donnell initially said "If you insist that I cease redistribution for non-commercial use, I will do so."

 

He then threatened to copy my work and rename it for his use.

 

"Piss off... ... I had a friend of mine write a perl script called scrapezap. "

 

Please remove the hosting of, and cease the redistribution of my work.

John O'Donnell,

 

You have taken my work from my home page which states that it is not to be redistributed and, without permission (without even asking), you have packaged it up and redistributed it. 

 

If my non-redistributable work is not distributed in a method to your liking then it is simply not appropriate for you.  You don't get to set the terms of my software.  There are other products out there with license terms compatible to your use.

 

Please remove the hosting of, and cease the redistribution of my work.

I have received exactly one email from you...ONE!  And that was a reply to my email asking for a direct download link to the source so I would not have the need to include it on my github repo.  I'll post that email thread here for everyone to see.

 

A similar note was sent to your other email address in case you did not read that one.

 

Now for the rude part...

 

Piss off...I'm done with you.  Do your worst (whatever you think your recourse is).  I asked for a copy of the license and you did not provide one.

 

Oh and by the way, I had a friend of mine write a perl script called scrapezap.  Quite a coincidence isn't it.

 

I'm glad you like my work, but I think this makes your attitude, your sense of entitlement to other people's work, and your intentions quite clear.

John O'Donnell,

 

You have taken my work and hosted it for redistribution without consultation or permission and rudely ignore emails.

 

I do insist that you respect the rights of authors and cease redistribution. 

 

Those that choose to put their own work on github and license their own work in other ways have the freedom to do so.

 

But when someone decides not to do that they have the right to make that choice.  I have written and supported my project for 9 years.  Users wishing to use my work can continue to download it directly from my homepage.

John O'Donnell,

 

This software is not zap2xml.  You are redistributing software that is not your own.

You have repeatedly been asked via email to please cease the hosting and redistribution of my work.
