btw, I always recommend using pure OpenCart, but some clients already have decided to go with MijoShop and/or prefer it for certain Joomla! features.
I am posting this screenshot as a WARNING to OpenCart web developers and customers to stay away from using MijoShop (miwisoft.com, med.miwisoft.com). Do you really want to do business with a company with this kind of integrity?

Their marketplace has plenty of extensions downloaded from OpenCart Store, and selling under various 'developer' names. I would avoid selling on their marketplace too. I'm not sure how honest / trustworthy they are (http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php?f=123&t=123405)
Anyway, you could just edit all your extensions and upload an empty zip file and delete off the descriptions, and leave the account on their marketplace. Why bother

Good idea @MarketInSG. I wasn't able to delete the "digital download" files of my extensions in my MED account, which is shady, but I was able to unlink them from the listings and delete all the descriptions. Definitely am leaving, never going back, and will warn others.

Update:
It's pretty easy, just don't bother. There's no logic for you to pay them the amount to remove your account. They wouldn't refund the customers that purchased too, as I believe some of the purchases is already past the PayPal's refund duration.
Anyway, they have 2 extensions that's obviously a clone of ours, and they are refusing to take it down. Just filed a DMCA against them, will await for it to be removed.

Wow what a bunch of drybags.
You should stay activated the upload your discussion as "the mod" so that all the folks who purchased from you can see the ignorance. As a bonus, include the links and resources to get updates from alternate sources.

UPDATE: So I woke up this morning to about a dozen emails from PayPal along the lines of "Miwisoft LLC has opened a dispute over the payment made to you on MM DD YYYY indicating that they never received the item." Incredible. Most of them were closed automatically by PayPal, because "it was not opened within our filing deadline, and we will not investigate for now". Still looks bad on my record. A few remain open and were elevated to "Claim" status, and now my PayPal account is negative, because PayPal already took the money out.
That's great for you 
I filed a couple of DMCA claims against them for our extensions on their directory and they filed a counter claim. Anyone interested to pick up a legal law suit against them together? Would love to see them close totally with such irresponsible attitude.

Would love to see them close totally with such irresponsible attitude.I doubt they have much funding to power a lawsuit. If there was a serious poke towards them they would just settle. Could prob find a lawyer who would do this for no upfront (since its an easy win)MarketInSG wrote:That's great for you

Someone emailed today needing help with my plugin, they said they got it from here... I have never listed my plugin here, nor have I ever heard of them. I think they are scraping your site for plugins and listing them.
Also I see several paid plugins where their dates are bad for updates, and the plugins are listed more expensive than here.. so I'm not sure if they are purchasing plugins and reselling them, but I just wanted to give you a heads up.

We've previously filed a DMCA against them for the extensions they have on their website, but they filed a counter claim. They host on liquid web, so anyone interested to file a DMCA against them can do so through liquid web.
Mijoshop has also incorporated an older version of our Export/Import tool into its commercial software, without acknowledging our authorship, nor providing a link to the original source, thus Mijoshop has violated the GPLv3 license.

As an update, we received an email from Denis Dulici in which he pointed out that the Export/Import (an older version from what I can see) is available from the Miwisoft/Mijoshop tools page.
We also sent him a reply, as follows:

Update 2: We got a reply to our questions, as follows:So has the Export/Import tool now been removed from the Mijoshop 1.6.3
ZIP file which is sold as a commercial product? Also, where is the
missing 'license.txt' file?
And where is a download link for the whole source files of Mijoshop
which is based on OpenCart, as per the GPLv3?
This begs the question whether the OpenCart GPLv3 should perhaps be changed to another open source license, to keep the free source files and their modifications and/or extensions freely downloadable? Any suggestions?1) Export/Import tool has never EVER been into MijoShop.
2) You're right about license file, it seems our guys has removed it thinking is not used. I sincerely apologize for that and have just added. As you can see from that page, we openly say who is the original developer.
3) MijoShop is commercial product so you should purchase it in order to get the files. Having OpenCart inside doesn't change anything and is more than normal for GPL http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html

MijoShop / MiwiSoft has never been honest. They still have our software on their marketplace and refuse to take it down (http://med.miwisoft.net/mijoshop/tools/ ... e-checkout). Just waiting for someone to take legal action against them someday...
I think GPL is fine, it's quite flexible and ensures developers have easy access to the source codes for modifications when needed.
