Way easier, then the pointless discussions that come from these debates.
Again you're missing the point completely.. He installed 'the cure' onto his forum then made edits to it.. the moment he decided to install 'the cure' and use it as a base to make his theme he was then binded by their terms to keep their copyright in tact regardless of how much he edited the theme..
No i fully understand what you say, i just disagree with what you say. Thasts something completley different. If somebody edits a theme almost beyond recognition. I find it then no longer the theme of the original author. But thats just my opinion.

It is irrelevant if you don't agree.. what I said is the facts .. regardless of the amount of edits made the copyright must remain intact.. that's the facts.. no opinion optional

Carom3d is a online game with some game type: carom 3 ball, 4 ball, pool, snooker,... and more

The only real similarity between the two seem to be some borders maybe a few images.
And there is this bar:
![[Image: compare.jpg]](https://camo.mybb.com/4b17ef6349c871cd5430e3f7a4959067333610ec/687474703a2f2f7331392e706f7374696d6167652e6f72672f7171766e38357234762f636f6d706172652e6a7067)
But that also has been heavily modified, the font color etc.
In the end its not atleast from how i can see it really the same theme anymore.
Maybe the general idea / a few parts of the code but still he has made so many changes to the CSS / templates.
I dont think you can say its audentio's design anymore.
OT:
I like the design and colors, only thing i would change is, put the pro stats block at the bottom and not above the whole forum section.
Thanks

The first, i use "the cure" theme for main style (with copyright), after that i want to make a theme with style by myself but base on the cure. Up to now i see that it's theme by me near 100%
, so i remove copyright and i think it's not big problem.
But to respect the original, i will add copyright again until it's 99.9% my theme
. It's OK?
Anyway, thank all.
Sorry for my bad English.

So if I would edit MyBB that you can't say it's MyBB anymore, even though I'll still have code from MyBB hidden beneath, there is no reason for me to retain copyrigh t?
That's basically what you are saying, and I disagree with that completely.
No matter how much you edit it, you still unless you rewrite the whole thing there is still someone elses work on there and by using that you agree to their copyright.
@OP, not directed at you I just want to proof my point here.
You haven't added the copyright like you said...
"Designed and Developed by Carom3dVN Group", give me a break. You edited tiny parts and claim you've edited everything. Just add the copyright, Jesus Christ.

OK, im busy.
I dont think it's big problem.
You don't know i used many thing from things that do not belong to me: plugin, mod, images, sound,....
How i can show "copyright" for all.
Sometimes we need to be more generous.
How you can say:
You edited tiny parts and claim you've edited everything. It's a funny.
Busy? It takes two seconds so that's absolute bull. As soon as I opened your site, I was planning this reply "You shouldn't use The Cure, it's such a popular free theme". Just add the copyright, you're obviously just purposely avoiding it to try and seem leet to your users, but all you've done is made it more ugly - either way - copyright needs to be added.
