-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 I don't mean to speak for Nadim here, but I suspect at least some of his concern stems from the redaction of the endnotes in section 10 of the document on the Cryptocat wiki[1], which read "Special thanks to Jacob Appelbaum, Joseph Bonneau, [&c]", to your version[2], which reads "This document was authored by a number of anonymous contributors". You were credited, Jake, and it is disingenous and derailing of you to attempt to claim that Nadim did not credit you or "think[s] that you own [your] work product."
As the academics among us on this list are well aware, plagiarism is a serious concern. I personally have seen far too many instances of plagiarism or likely plagiarism swept under the rug -- including the one that led me to quit my PhD -- to be comfortable with seeing this matter "resolved" behind closed doors; I would prefer to see it dealt with right here where you brought it up by failing to properly credit Nadim's work. - --mlp [1] https://github.com/cryptocat/cryptocat/wiki/Multiparty-Protocol-Specification - - it was section 9 some months ago, but section 10 now [2] https://github.com/ioerror/mpOTR/ On 02/14/2013 08:04 PM, Jacob Appelbaum wrote: > Nadim Kobeissi: >> Jacob, as it stands you are currently plagiarizing from the >> Cryptocat Project.
