Hello Gaber and All, Before you end this discussion in the list here I need to clear some v. imp. legal points: Gaber you have rights for sure according to the Egyptian IP Law 82 /2002 at least for your moral rights which is considered obligatory and a public order. also if you used the CC Ls unported BY-NC ... so no one can delete your name and over and obove use it to make commercial profits.
