I attacked no one.
I did reply to that odd, irrelevant comment. Because you chose not to read it does not mean it did not happen.
Here was my reply:
I never claimed to take the photos myself. In my readme file I mentioned the photos were gathered from numerous team web site locations. I merely edited the photos (removed all team logos and identifying marks) and resized them to work in OOTP. I did not profit from the venture in any shape or form. I did not use them to compete with the minor league baseball operations they came from. No one outside the OOTP universe would ever be aware they even existed.
SkyDog then took my work, combined it with others, and released it as his own back to the OOTP community. I have nothing to lose by him doing this since I stood nothing to gain. I merely asked him to do the right thing which he chose not to do, over and over again. It seems cut and dry to me but apparently it seems obvious to SkyDog that you don't have to credit other people in the community for their work when you incorporate it into your own. We aren't talking about a few lines of online league rules here, we are talking about countless hours I spent over the past 2+ years that he took and used as his own, intentional or not.
Again, I sent him an earnest PM. If the guy is admirable as you seem to state by your backing of him, I hope he does the right thing.
