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

On October 10th, it was reported that @0xCygaar, a member of the Abstract Chain team, pointed out on the X platform that the FBI was suspected of violating the MIT license when issuing the NexFundAI token. The employee claimed that the FBI directly copied multiple library files from Open Zeppelin in its smart contract, but did not attach a license statement as required in the code, constituting copyright infringement. According to the MIT license, all copies or significant portions of software must include a license statement.

Earlier reports stated that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the United States had created a token and company called "NexFundAI" on the Ethereum blockchain to identify and prosecute those suspected of fraud.
