> Read the license of what you're using
Here's the license:
https://github.com/floatinghotpot/cordova-admob-pro/blob/mas...
It's MIT.
Here's what they say "If you have used this plugin for FREE but monetized more than $1000, you are also required to get a license, or share us some Ad traffic as stated in win-win partnership model below"
If the MIT license is correct, they are lying: people don't need to get a license. The users already have a license that covers absolutely everything and they even have the right to edit the plugin to remove the % cut altogether.
Other things they are lying about, in their wiki https://github.com/floatinghotpot/cordova-admob-pro/wiki/Lic...
"Reminder: copy the code, change a plugin name, without feature enhancement, then publish to npm, is not allowed."
This is just false. The existing MIT license absolutely allows changing the name and republishing to npm.
Perhaps they just don't understand what is open source about. Absolutely all open source licenses allow forks.
If you want to use the "Free and Open Source, no support" you also have to:
> Fork the source code and maintain it yourself (bug fix, any future changes on Cordova and SDK, integration support, etc.); see the open source project here: https://github.com/floatinghotpot/cordova-plugin-admob
Which I think it's clear that's not what happened here, the blog author was using AdMob Pro and thus unable to qualify for "Free and Open Source, no support".
