Hi Rohan, because of the number of proposals, we may not be able to review patches until around the deadline date.

By the way, it looks like if you submit a proposal through the official GSoC site early, you can still edit the proposal until the deadline.

Hi Rohan, 

I accidentally noticed that you've closed your PR, re-cloned the repo, then copied all my code over and just changed a few variable names. 

This is not so good, at least in my opinion. I published the commit url here because I am confident about my code, and I trust others. But this is not for you to copy just for your own good. 

Please stop that. Thanks!

Yes, copying work and claiming it as your own isn't good under any circumstances, open source or otherwise.  I've had the experience of having had my open-source code copied without attribution and resold for profit, and I don't look on it kindly.

Please don't discourage openness by copying work without attribution.  If we see duplicate code in submissions, we'll get to the bottom of it.

Thanks all!  And please don't set some copying discourage you from sharing and helping each other.  Remember to give credit where credit is due - thanks!

This happened with me some days ago. I think students should be more responsive and transparent about the open source communities. Pencilcode is not made up for one person, It is a team project. All of us here are devoting our precious time to pencilcode to learn something useful from fellow contributors and mentors. We all should think innovatively and try to discuss things rather than copying blindly. Plagiarism is not tolerable in any case.

I agree with david on this.

Thanks

Thanks David! I guess open source doesn't mean free and no copyright at all. 

And thanks Rohan for the apology. He has emailed me saying sorry. I shall forgive him this time. 

For everyone, please remember that all open source projects are actually voluntary work. Think about the time and energy that people have spent on it, please give them credits when you use them!

Thanks!
