hermes - 💡(How to fix) Fix Serious Plagiarism of Open-Source Evolver Core Architecture [2 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The Hermes Agent project may need to address potential intellectual property and attribution issues related to its similarity to the Evolver engine.

Guidance

• Review the licensing and attribution requirements of the Evolver engine to understand the obligations for using or deriving from its architecture and logic.
• Investigate the possibility of adding proper citations, references, and acknowledgments to the original Evolver engine project in Hermes Agent's public documents and materials.
• Consider reaching out to the EvoMap team to discuss potential collaboration, licensing, or attribution agreements.
• Evaluate the legal and ethical implications of the current situation and consider seeking professional advice to ensure compliance with open-source ethics and intellectual property laws.

Notes

The issue at hand is more related to ethical and legal considerations rather than a technical problem, so the guidance provided is focused on addressing these aspects.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Add proper citations, references, and acknowledgments to the original Evolver engine project, as this is a crucial step in resolving the intellectual property and attribution concerns.
