Hey @TheNetsky,
Big fan of your work — been using it for a long time and really appreciate the effort you put in.
Just wanted to flag something I came across. There's a project by QuestPilot called Microsoft-Rewards-Bot that has two branches:
I used an AI tool to do a deep code comparison between these two branches and your project, and the overlap is significant — same dependencies, same file structure (just renamed/reorganized), same API endpoints, same login flow, same activity handlers, same search query sources, etc. It's clearly derived from your project.
What caught my eye though is the licensing. Your project is GPL-3.0, but:
- The release branch is under PolyForm Noncommercial, and ships a closed-source "Core" plugin as compiled bytecode (
index.jsc) that unlocks the paid features (app activities, daily check-in, read-to-earn, etc.)
- The legacy branch is under CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0
Since your project is GPL-3.0, I'm pretty sure derivative works need to stay GPL-3.0 too — no extra restrictions, and source code needs to be available. The closed-source plugin especially seems like it wouldn't fly under GPL.
Anyway, thought you should know. Up to you what you want to do with this info — just figured it was worth mentioning.
Cheers
