verbatim copy from libyahoo2 edit

It appears as if this page has been lifted verbatim from http://libyahoo2.sourceforge.net/ymsg-9.txt, of which I am the author. No terms for the copying of that document have been published yet, but at the very least, attribution is required, and has not been provided here.

you should probably put a copyright notice on your original work then, it could have easily been pulled off a search engine without any indirection from anywhere else -c 67.23.125.138 22:12, 16 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Bluesmoon: Would you like the article deleted for copyright violation? --Gbleem 06:47, 15 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
I would like attribution. Consider the document under a creative commons 2.5 attribution licence: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/in/ Bluesmoon 08:25, 9 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
No good -- CC-BY is not GFDL compatible. However, it does appear the article is quite a bit different now than the supposed copyright violation. Bluesmoon, do you still feel this infringes on your copyright?-- ShinmaWa(talk) 00:25, 30 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
The original article was based on (but not copied from) my own public documentation for the jYMSG library, an alternative Java implementation to Bluesmoon's libyahoo2 project. As both projects are reverse engineering the same protocol, the details are obviously largely the same. The libyahoo2 documentation wasn't used as it was (still is?) rather patchy and (IIRC) ambiguous on some detail. JavaKid (talk) 14:01, 22 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

FWIW, all revisions that infringed upon this copyright have been deleted. AmiDaniel (talk) 00:39, 23 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Encrypted protocol edit

It looks like the protocol is going to get encrypted soon. Will like have an impact on the other clients and libraries out there. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2455911,00.asp — Preceding unsigned comment added by RossO (talkcontribs) 17:48, 6 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
