    So I spent a lot of time on some code and submitted it in an article. I recently did a search on the name of the engine and found that the first few results came from another guy who used the engine and posted my code but removed my name in comments from the source code, like he was the one who did it. I sent him a message a few days ago telling him to put my info back in or remove the project, but never heard back. It was a french website, but I translated the message and I'm sure he knew what I was saying. Does anybody have any suggestions on what I should do?

    1. Start up an online petition! 2) In the petition demand they cease and desist, or you will become more powerful than they can possibly imagine! 3) Send a letter to the FSF and EFF informing then of the incredible lack of ethics in the aforementioned individual! Make they send *both* RMS and Eben "Take No Prisoners" Moglen to talk to the poor demented fool! 4) ??? 5) Profit!!!

          Actually a french-kiss sounds disgusting to me.. no I've never dared to try. Licking someone's tongue just isn't something I'd do voluntarily.

            Yes. Get plenty of sleep -- i.e. don't lose any. Just forget it. It's only a bit of code; you can always write more -- and you have the satisfaction of knowing that even the poor moron who stole it knows that he's not as good as you.

                  Ya, that would be a good one. :) The site is kind of like a French CodeProject, but he points to his personal website that does have all of his info in the whois.

                  If he's doing a large scale code theft, not just yours report it to Chris, CP has a crack brigade of attack lawyer hamsters to deal with those types.

                      If you remember this, the author finally responded to me and said a colleague who was helping him provided the code and added my name back and provided links back to The Code Project. :-D

                        I do remember Eric, that's awesome. Maybe he understood those French e-mails we sent after all ...
