Copyright. - MrBorsh - 22.09.2011

Hello I was just wondering about making the copyright for the script. Is it like writing in the bottom;

Copyright © 2011 'Pronouncer'

or something like that? Will it have any effect in the scripts?

Alright, thanks, but can this be used in the regular PAWNO application? Like

All the scripts of factions and blablabla then have this in the bottom?

Yeah it's up to you where you put it.

You use // for a single line comment and for a multi line you use /* to start and */ to end it.

Most people put it at the top if it is their whole code generally. Or you could specify which particular parts of yours, or you can put it above/below the actual sections that are yours.

Is there really any need? If someone got your script they'd just remove it >.>

Agreed. Copyright crap in sa-mp scripts is totally and absolutely pointless.

Mostly, your copyright crap will be deleted on sight. Harsh but true.

You can impliment security features into your scripts that once the credits are deleted the script becomes useless.
So "absolutely pointless" is not a term i would use.

Any security you put into a pawn script can be EASILY removed.

I said copyright crap.

Simply lines of text saying who made a script and © BMUK 2011 is copyright crap, if you needed further definition.

So as those lines could be deleted then yes it is "absolutely pointless".

Maybe you should make a tutorial on how to render a gamemode totally useless should 10 lines of code be deleted. Would help script owners alot.

I don't want my scripts to be stolen. That is why I want it copyrighted. Yes, sure it can be easly stolen, but they're copyrighted and then I got proves if they decides to steal it. So it is not pointless.
