It is an original work of authorship containing proprietary source code with no public license grant. The repository contains 1,696 bytes of original JavaScript code implementing a complete bot framework including command system, database integration, event handlers, authentication module, and protocol implementation. The bot features over 50 commands for realm management, player interactions, skin customization, and economy systems documented through extensive version history from v1.0.0 to v2.7.6. + +crashing-LTD-public infringes on the copyright of Vertex-Bot by copying substantial portions of its original source code and architecture without authorization or attribution. The repository was created July 22, 2026, approximately 11 months after Vertex-Bot was created, and contains nearly identical code structure, logic patterns, and implementation details. The infringing party has falsely applied The Unlicense (public domain license) to disguise the unauthorized copying of proprietary code. + +Code Comparison Demonstrating Infringement: + +[private] + +The infringing repository's use of different [private].js library instead of [private] does not constitute independent creation, as the underlying architecture, logic patterns, database schema, command structure, event handling system, utility functions, and code algorithms are directly copied from the original work. The copying of specific utility functions with only cosmetic renaming, combined with identical implementation approaches that would not independently be discovered, demonstrates intentional infringement.
