Lubuntu countdown clock

[Mario Behling]

Hi Corbin,

thank you for informing us. As you are taking copyright very
seriously, I took down the clock.

The code and the embed function from Dropbox for the clock was posted
on one of the mailing lists and some blogs. At the moment I cannot
verify, what you write is correct. As this kind of clock feature has
been around for long, I think we can create the code ourselves for the
next release.

Unfortunately, it is just not feasible to put a name below any item of
a website, that comes from a different person. Imagine we do that with
every line of code on the Drupal website itself or in the lubuntu
distribution itself. Developers add copyright info and name usually
into the code.

Generally, if you are interested to collaborate in the free software
community, I would be more careful about choosing your words: Accusing
people from the community as stealing is quite something.

Thank you,

Mario

Looking at the code I can see that a site administrator modified my Ubuntu countdown clock I submitted for the 12.04 LTS contest, uploaded it to Dropbox, and embeded it on the Lubuntu site. They even kept the Analytics.

I am kindly asking Lubuntu's site admins to either put credit to me at the bottom of the clock, or remove it. If the site developers wished for a Lubuntu-themed countdown clock, they could have contacted me with the email next to my entry. Reply if you need any more information of any kind.
