In the interests of consistency, I have to ask, if this is the Moderator official stance, why has the Borkify Sigil plugin (as linked by patrik in post #12) been available for download since July? |
This isn't by any means an official moderator stance; it's my personal opinion. It seems pretty clear to me that the output from an algorithmic transformation of a copyrighted work must itself be subject to copyright. It is the ultimate "derived work".
Speaking with my moderator's hat on, for a moment, there's no problem whatsoever with creating, linking to, or downloading such plug-ins. I would, however, be cautious about publicly posting the
output from them.
