The FBI was accused of not complying with the MIT license in the process of issuing "fishing tokens", constituting copyright infringement

BlockBeats news, on October 10, Abstract Chain team member @0xCygaar pointed out on the X platform that the FBI was suspected of violating the MIT license when issuing the token NexFundAI. The staff member said that the FBI directly copied multiple library files of OpenZeppelin in its smart contract, but did not attach the license statement in the code as required, which constituted copyright infringement. According to the provisions of the MIT license, all copies or significant parts of the software must include a license statement.

According to previous news, the FBI created a token and company called "NexFundAI" on Ethereum to identify, combat these suspected fraudsters, and bring them to justice. It is reported that the FBI used the identity of the company and the token to meet with market makers to discuss "cooperation." One of the defendants explained that his company used robots to buy and sell at the same time on CEX to generate trading volume. Information on the chain shows that the trading function of the token was closed 21 days ago.
