Hey,
I really don't like when people do copy/paste work without even stating that they used someones else code, but I think in this case accusations are exaggerated. I see only one copy/paste function from LightWeightMinimap (16 lines of code). The addon structure (folders and file names) are similar to RMM and so are few function names. You can say that the structure is inspired by RMM. But generally the code is very different from LightWeightMinimap and RMM. I don't think it deserves to be blocked or something because this isn't staight copy/paste/mix work. I agree that the author should write in the description that his addon was inspired by RMM and LightWeightMinimap but again this accusation: "The author has copied LightWeightMinimap and RMM in a new addon." is really exaggerated and unjust.
My opinion is based on about 30 minutes of looking at these three addons so maybe more deep review will reveal more copy/paste work but I think will be no more than few percent of the whole code.
