I hope that you read the README file a bit more carefully about AmazonPress.
“AmazonPress” in wordpress repository is a fork of AmazonFeed by Warkior – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/amazonfeed/.
Mine is at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/amazonpress/
All credits have been kept to point this out as that is what the GPL states.
I have added extra countries to be used in the admin.
Therefore I call it a fork. Since I have re-made the plugin from the original one. I see not harm in adding my Affiliate code, specially when the user do have the option to disable it in the backend.
However there was someone who ripped of Warkiors AmazonFeed and removed copyrights and disabled the “Tip” function for users, and claimed they were the creators.
So I put a fork in the eye of the people who “stole it”, by claiming the “AmazonFeed” plugin name in the repository.
Therefore they were forced to use a different name in the repository, “…/amazon-press/” – “AmazonPress WordPress Plugin”.
Hope this clarifies things a bit of who is stealing or who is doing something dishonest. Maybe stealing from thieves is as bad?
But on the other hand I never stole their code, I improved the original code, and AmazonPress is hardly a copyrighted name they have claim on.
I hope to get a few hours free and I will see if I can add a few more countries where Amazon has expanded, since my pervious fork, I believe that is Italy and China.
Cheers.
