custom-import's Issues

Hey 👋🏼

Hi there. I noticed that you've forked Laravel Nova CSV Import package

I'm genuinely flattered and pleased to see others building on top of my work 😊

As it's MIT-licensed, it's permissive enough for you to do almost whatever you want with it.

However, the one exception I take is that you have removed the original copyright notice and thus have not respected the license agreement, specifically:

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

Please reinstate the original copyright notice

This can be extended to include your own name once you have a copyright claim to any code written within, but you must not remove the previous copyright notices.

For reference, you can see the original LICENSE file here.

I've had a quick look through the project and so far (aside of some name, email address and URL changes) it is verbatim the laravel-nova-csv-import package, so I believe this currently qualifies as "substantial portions of the software".

I can see that you've listed your version as a package on Packagist already, so I guess you plan to redistribute your version.

I don't want to discourage you from developing this package further or from redistributing your modifications either - in fact, I look forward to seeing how you evolve this for your specific needs and will be happy to help you achieve them.

However, I would strongly discourage you from distributing an identical package for a number of reasons:

1. It's disingenuous to the open source movement and community
2. It will potentially lead to confusion for other developers

Of course, I would also welcome your involvement in developing laravel-nova-csv-import rather than splintering efforts, if you're open to that.

Thank you for your time 🙏🏼
