I sent this message to NuGet today; hope I did the "right thing."

"re: https://www.nuget.org/profiles/Maxwolf

I wish to raise the question of the appropriateness of taking code from articles on CodeProject one did not write, and bundling them for NuGet. I am not the author of the articles on CodeProject I mention here.

"I did not create this control, just packaged it up for NuGet. Here are the sources: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/9196/Links-with-arbitrary-text-in-a-RichTextBox"

These CodeProject articles are published under various licenses which this person does cite. I suggest that the poster of these NuGet bundles should, at least, have the permission of the author of the original articles to publish here.

Also, by publishing here, people who download quite possibly do not visit CodeProject, and that's a loss for CodeProject.

I find it difficult to believe that this type of re-packaging, apparently without permission, is okay with NuGet, although I do not see an intent to defraud here, or any real "infringement."

I am not a spokesperson, in any way, for CodeProject, just a member.

thanks, Bill Woodruff
