# Plugin Stolen?

 * I’m the author of a WordPress plugin called Sharebar: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sharebar/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sharebar/)
 * Someone else has reposted the plugin [here](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cevhershare/)(
   [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cevhershare/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cevhershare/))
   and the only things they’ve changed are the name/credit and donation link, which
   they’ve changed to their own.
 * While the plugin is released under GPL, MIT and BSD license, it seems a bit counterintuitive
   to have people downloading the exact same thing from two different sources. Also,
   I don’t think any of those licenses allows someone to copy the code exactly and
   just swap my name with theirs.
 * Any suggestions and feedback are appreciated!

 * Scratch that – it isn’t exactly the same, he has modified the plugin to include
   language support. I guess the best option is to contact the plugin author and
   request that proper credit be given for the original plugin.
 * I’ll update this post with my progress, in case any other plugin developers are
   going through a similar experience.

 * Hi, great plugin. Any plans for a compatibility update for wp3.3?

 * Yes! the coder made this fully for wp3.3.1 and its an excellent alternative of
   other floating social lugins
