I am the original developer of InfoPanel (IP). Have been receiving multiple PMs regarding this. Anyway, IP is open source and GPL. Anyone is welcome to modify. I’ve checked the repo of SynQPanel, it’s clearly adapted from IP based on the structure, classes etc. I know because I wrote most if not all of it by hand, before Claude and such.
It’s actually an honour that someone wants to take my work and adapt it. Attribution could be better. But users who know will know and it doesn’t bother me much. It would be better if you responded directly to such queries so that I stop receiving PMs of “someone is stealing/ripping IP”.
Lastly, I was approached by @Surjeet regarding this before launch. I did not object. I also gave advice. Therefore I am not surprised by this. The main ask I had was that in the spirit of open source, if you have a singular feature to add I hope that you add it to the original code base so that more users can benefit from it. If you have a fix for the original software it would be great to also contribute to the original code base.
I understand where this project is heading. However inevitably, you are going to be asked to support IP formats, or directly support LCDs and the like. If you accede and become more like IP, it would contravene the above mentioned spirit.
