Well there's this little pesky thing in the MIT license:

The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

That's what he was asking for, a mention in the credits.

[sosodev]

He got his name in the credits. The question was if he is owed anything else. The contract he created says he was not. I’m simply suggesting he might need a different contract.

I bet if you caught a homerun ball in a baseball game, you wouldn't give it to the kid next to you because "I don't owe the kid anything".

Depends on what the little kid intends to do with it. A lot of them collect MLB baseballs to sell them for cash.

> A lot of them collect MLB baseballs to sell them for cash.

You have evidence of this? Because it would be my first guess that the parent coerces their child to sell the ball.

[gamblor956]

At least a dozen times this season I've personally witnessed small kids talking about what they could buy with the money they would get from selling a foul ball that someone gave to them (out of guilt or public pressure) while their parents asked if they wouldn't rather keep it for the memories.

However, my home team is the Dodgers, so the experience is probably different in other markets where the local team sucks and nobody cares about the players (like the Anaheim Angels, where fans are more likely to throw the ball back onto the field than keep them).

If the comment above is correct, he was only added to the credits after he had to ask for it after the fact.

So the ONLY thing the license asked for is to be named and that was supposedly violated. So a multi million dollar company can just violate a generous license and then after a fact cling to this exact license while arguing to not pay a single cent more than the license asked for. Alright...

[left-struck]

It’s not a contract, a contract requires an exchange of value both ways.

[singpolyma3]

Only if he wants to force something different. Which it seems he does not.

[sharts]

But only after $$ was made.

Since he eventually got the credit, your unfairness argument better build entirely on the damage the creator suffered by the delay of his credit.
