    Hi again Alex!
    I actually eMailed Estefan (etruel; wpematico) about the ethics of ripping off your code and then selling it as his own; we discussed this about 2 months ago.
    No response; although I didn’t expect one.
    Also, why have you disabled the Freemius Opt-out? (“Skip” button does nothing but reload the Freemius opt-out page).
    Just FYI: I don’t think that’s exactly ethical, either.
    Regards,
    Brian Brown

    Hello Brian,

    I didn’t understand what you were talking about Freemius Opt-out.
    So I tried with a new install and you’re right, Skip button doesn’t work !! It is not made on purpose at all (even it can appear suspicious!) and you’re the first to report me that. I don’t know when this problem appeared because I didn’t touch something about Freemius but I will fix it of course.
    I’ll try to make an update soon to fix that because it’s very problematic, I guess many people have uninstall it if they can’t skip it.

    Yes I remember about the discussion wpematico author, I’m not really surprised because he never contacted me, he does not assume responsibility.. I don’t want to lose time with people like that.

    Ok, the problem is now fixed, and the last freemius version has been updated. The button doesn’t seem to have any problem now. Thanks for your report Brian.

    Wow Alex. What q quick response. Like 2 hours!
    Great!
    I used to write WP plugins, too. But when I saw big sites (like CNN’s Blog) using them WITH THE ATTRIBUTION REMOVED, and not caring to donate (it was probably their webmaster’s fault), I stopped.
    But thanks again for a wonderful plugin.
    By the way, the etruel now has the option of choosing a secondary image source, i.e, Google then Flickr.
    Thanks again, Alex!
