I'm the developer of ueControls. Please delete the ueControls from your controls library.

You modified the source code to delete some of the copyrights info of our components.

Sir
the Mozilla Public License Version 1.1 give us the "Rights" to :
  • to use, reproduce, modify, display, perform, sublicense and distribute the source, and modified versions of the source;
  • patent rights to use and make available the original code (where relevant);
  • to distribute works which contain the code in combination with new code, and to license the new code in any way the distributor wishes. The contributor grants these subtly different rights:
  • to use, reproduce, modify, display, perform, sublicense and distribute the source of their modifications;
  • patent rights to use and make available both the modifications and the entire work (original code plus modifications);
  • to distribute works which contain the code in combination with new code, and to license the new code in any way the distributor wishes. Both these grants are subject to the following conditions:
  • all distributed copies (original or modified) must include the source code or advice on how to obtain the source code;
  • all modifications are described in accompanying documentation;
  • any patent rights necessary to operate the software are clearly described in accompanying documentation;
  • all copies of the code, original or modified, have a statement of copyright and an exclusion of warranties attached;
  • all modified files must be distributed under the MPL. New files containing entirely new code need not be distributed under the MPL. As can be seen from these grants and provisos, the MPL differs most significantly from the GPL in the way that it governs how works containing the MPL-licensed code can be distributed and licensed. Put simply, someone can take an MPL-licensed work and build upon it with new components. The resulting work can be distributed with the MPL covering the use of the original work and any licence covering the rest. Clearly in this way a company could add closed source components to an MPL-licensed work and thus build a proprietary product.

Please, read again the Mozilla Public License Version 1.1

"About" property is part of the source and code functionality, NOT part of MPL 1.1
We modify the code functionality follow ALWAYS the Mozilla Public License.

Our team suggestion is you to put your name in to "Exhibit A" of Mozilla Public License.
We don't have any problem to put any name in the License Exhibit A

"all modifications are described in accompanying documentation;"

You dont describe the modifications, and also you do not justify any improvements, you simply copy the source code and remove the about information to hide the real author from the user point of view. I'm sure that it is not the spirit of the license.

NO Sir
we remove "about" property, because we don't like it in a Free Source library
If you want the "End Software User" of your library to read your name, Please change library license

For modifications please read ctinfo.txt in pl_BGRAuecontrols folder

Please, read again the Mozilla Public License Version 1.1
and what "Free and Open source" software is.

In the source code of my library is written:
  These copyright notices in the source code may not be removed or modified.
  If you modify and/or distribute the code to any third party then you must not
  veil the original author. It must always be clearly identifiable.

You can not to simply choice to ignore that.

in the ctinfo.txt is written:
=============================================
  CodeTyphon Studio
  Typhon IDE
  Information file
=============================================

pl_BGRAuecontrols

01-06-2015 Ver 5.4.1 (Internal v6.0) Source GIT hash: d6fe741ec63f73ae7c6a097fba47c0cfe993d365

-----------MODs----------
Remove All Register Functions and
add all Components registration to allBGRAuecontrolsReg.pas

uebutton.pas ### at line: 21
uegauge.pas ### at line: 16
ueknob.pas ### at line: 24

uerotimage.pas ### at line: 28
ueselector.pas ### at line: 24
uetileimage.pas ### at line: 27
uetilepanel.pas ### at line: 25

Nothing about of remotion of the about property and the justification to do that. You don't like abouts in the work of others but yes in your work.

You are reading selectively. Please read all of my previous reply. And No, that is not "my problem" you must write in your ctinfo.txt why remove the about property and how, this change, improve the code. that is the difference between "describe" and "list". Also the "Free" word in "Free Source", is for give the opportunity to all to use the knowledge and improve the code no to blind or obfuscate the real author of the code.

Regards.

Sir
what will do is our problem

Until now pl_BGRAuecontrols it was a "port" of uecontrols to CodeTyphon Studio
from NOW pl_BGRAuecontrols is a "Fork" of uecontrols library to CodeTyphon Studio

Our best Regards
