Hi guys, I'm here with a question about leeching. Are we allowed to leech other bots so we can make our own? I read the tutorial for making bots but I still do not understand how to make one. That may sound stupid but it is true. I want to make some bots but I do not understand how. So I already found some but I want to make my own, so please someone clear this up for me.

You can copy stuff from other scripts, but please, credits where needed. (And you need permission from the scripter).

Most script authors will not mind if you borrow some of their code. It shouldn't be an obvious rip-off of their code, but borrowing functions is fine as long as you give them credit should be okay.

You can check their script license. Most people don't add one, so you're legally allowed to use any of their code without crediting or asking for permission (but doing that makes you look like a jerk ;)) - also I am not a lawyer, but I think I am accurate in saying this. My script for example is WTFPL license, so you can do whatever you want with the code, but credits are requested.

Good luck!

Alright thanks guys, you can now close it, or keep it for further use (newcomers).
