[22:06]BillyGalbreath[SQID]:

  • dinnerbone started bukkit.
  • everyone loved it. friends joined him.
  • mojang took notice and hired dinnerbone to work for mojang.
  • dinnerbone stops working on bukkit but friends continue working on bukkit.
  • years later friends realize that dinnerbone sold bukkit to mojang when he was hired.
  • friends pissed off about this try to shut bukkit down and quit working on the project.
  • dinnerbone gets pissed and vows to continue it himself to keep it alive.
  • friends dont like this so file DMCA against it, making it impossible for dinnerbone to continue it.
  • spigot finds a loophole in the license and exploit it to continue bukkit to ensure its survival
