I was read about copyrights problems with codetyphon, but also I was read that codetyphon's developers do not erase the author copyright notices from the original source of the control. But It is not totally true in the case of ueControls. The "about" property was removed with no justification. I'm requesting to the codetyphon team to remove the uecontrols from their controls library.

Sir
the Mozilla Public License Version 1.1 give us the "Rights" to :
  • to use, reproduce, modify, display, perform, sublicense and distribute the source, and modified versions of the source;
  • patent rights to use and make available the original code (where relevant);
  • to distribute works which contain the code in combination with new code, and to license the new code in any way the distributor wishes. The contributor grants these subtly different rights:
  • to use, reproduce, modify, display, perform, sublicense and distribute the source of their modifications;
  • patent rights to use and make available both the modifications and the entire work (original code plus modifications);
  • to distribute works which contain the code in combination with new code, and to license the new code in any way the distributor wishes. Both these grants are subject to the following conditions:
  • all distributed copies (original or modified) must include the source code or advice on how to obtain the source code;
  • all modifications are described in accompanying documentation;
  • any patent rights necessary to operate the software are clearly described in accompanying documentation;
  • all copies of the code, original or modified, have a statement of copyright and an exclusion of warranties attached;
  • all modified files must be distributed under the MPL. New files containing entirely new code need not be distributed under the MPL. As can be seen from these grants and provisos, the MPL differs most significantly from the GPL in the way that it governs how works containing the MPL-licensed code can be distributed and licensed. Put simply, someone can take an MPL-licensed work and build upon it with new components. The resulting work can be distributed with the MPL covering the use of the original work and any licence covering the rest. Clearly in this way a company could add closed source components to an MPL-licensed work and thus build a proprietary product.

Please, read again the Mozilla Public License Version 1.1

"About" property is part of the source and code functionality, NOT part of MPL 1.1
We modify the code functionality follow ALWAYS the Mozilla Public License.

Our team suggestion is you to put your name in to "Exhibit A" of Mozilla Public License.
We don't have any problem to put any name in the License Exhibit A
Exhibit A - Mozilla Public License.

"all modifications are described in accompanying documentation;"

You dont describe the modifications, and also you do not justify any improvements, you simply copy the source code and remove the about information to hide the real author from the user point of view. I'm sure that it is not the spirit of the license.
