this is a SCAM – forces you to buy Envato licence
-
I don’t even understand how the admins allow this plugin in the WP directory.
Some premium plugins have a “lite” version in WP directory, with reduced functionality, but that works out of the box and have the possibility of upgrading or buying addons.
Other plugins connect to paid services, but the plugin itself is fully functional – and won’t do anything unless you have the paid service, but that’s clearly stated on the description.This one takes things to a whole new level: it does not state anywhere in the description that you have to pay to use the plugin – although there are references about premium addons – but when you install it you are faced with a popup that allows you to either insert the Envato purchase code or use a 7 DAY TRIAL.
Pure SCAM.To the devs: Guys, if you want to advertise your “premium only” plugins, then use envato services or buy some adwords/fbadds. Just don’t pollute the WP directory with scammy schemes.
To the WP directory admins: please take a moment to view this. I think that, by using the envato mixed licence instead of GPL, the plugin is directly violating the TOS. But, if not, maybe you should review the TOS, to prevent stuff like this from happening.
