licence issues from kickstarter projects

[TimoKropp]

Hi Kzra,
your project is very well documented and really a great starting point for an embedded solution for Lichess connectivity. I am also working on a Lichess connection for an embedded smart chess board and was really thankful for your source code as an introduction.

I recently noticed a kickstarter project which is somehow using your code without license or even mentioning your project.

The kickstarter Project:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wondersubstance/phantom-the-most-advanced-chess-board-in-the-world

The GitHub repo of the kickstarter author:
https://github.com/carlosPendass/LichessConection/blob/main/src/main.cpp

I thought you might be interested in this use of your code in a commercial product and might consider of contacting kickstarter or the author of the project to get at least your project mentioned or cited.

Hi TimoKropp,
Thanks for the support. I am glad to hear that this project is useful to you.
I agree that the project you shared adapted this code base and should therefore include the MIT license this project was written with if nothing else. Most likely an oversight - i’ve reached out to the author. Thanks for spotting this.

I have now uploaded my source code as well to GitHub, If you are interested:
