Hi,
Now that I have time to spent at home, I decided to modify a plugin by my own adding things from others plugins, and new parts that I think the plugin needs.
The plugin:
SiteMap Engine by Mostafa.Shiraali (Last Build: Date Uploaded 07-02-2015)
Other plugins used:
ABP Sitemap by Crazycat
Simple XML-sitemap by Wolfgang Ninaus (2011)
My questions are:
Could I make the plugin public or is it against TOS of any kind? Do I have to ask for permission to Mostafa.Shiraali and Crazycat?
It’s my first approach to MyBB’s plugins and it’s easy for me to see the work of others to learn by myself.
basically one should check license of the plugins.
in general, coders say modified versions cannot be redistributed without prior consent.
above referred 2 plugins coders have been active on this forum recently.
so it would be better to contact them with your ideas for their consent.
NoRules asked me in PM, I answered him.
And I answer to anyone asking for my permission: my work is usually under Creative Common:
