Will check it out right now. Must say I am a little disappointed with coda 2 atm :/

Why? I am wondering if I should purchase it…

Looks awesome, I am using Coda 1 is there any discount for people who upgrade from coda 1 because I don’t see it :/

Nice, the 404 page is genius!

:DDDD

Thank you for your contribution and sharing your opinion, I am closing the thread, cheers!

Pay a good JavaScript developer that’s not a loan shark to develop a similar plugin for you! Problem solved elegantly! Then simply update your files and tell him to keep his BSD thing

I was thinking about developing such script myself but since there was turn.js, there was no point in this.

HI, he doesn’t want to sell me the commercial license, he wants a % from each sale, I think this is mad…

Why is that mad? That’s the way a lot of stuff works. It’s the way old stock websites worked for the Author, before royalty-free became the norm. It’s also the way Envato works, taking a cut of each sale. It’s quite the norm in a lot of other industries too, the music industry for example. So I don’t see what’s “mad” about what he asks.

This is mad because I don’t have to pay him anything, but I am willing to buy a commercial license. Instead of earning some money he want a cut from each sale, sorry but it depends on amount of my work how many sales I will get out of it and not his. I will release the new project under the MIT license of his script.

When someone releases a script under a MIT license he should consider others making money out of it.

Ask for a commercial licence and buy it at once. Simple.

Yeah, I did send him an email about commercial license.

There may be several points of view in this matter. Personally I can understand why the original author does this. It may sound greedy at first but the flipping effect is quite unique and your file was practically built on top of that. I can’t say it right or wrong but for me I’ll stay away from getting source code that is too special, no matter what license it is. It’ll be so headache and you don’t want to get into legal stuff and copyright nuisance later on.

I agree, though I should point out that that’s the moral issue, not the legal issue (let’s make sure to keep those separate in our heads, not that you weren’t, but for the sake of people skimming I wanted to point it out). The moral issue gets a little weird though because of the fact that the person was an absolute a**hole to mpc…so I guess that depends on how forgiving mpc is

I am not that forgiving I spend almost 2 months on my current project and I wont throw it away just because the guy doesn’t like it…
