Dear Maintainers,

I am writing to bring to your attention potential licensing concerns regarding the 'RenpyThief' software, which is actively promoted on Bilibili (author's Bilibili page: https://space.bilibili.com/314844/dynamic).

This software appears to be built heavily on the integration and modification of several open-source projects, which may be used in a way that is inconsistent with their respective licensing terms. Notably, several projects under the GPL v3 license, which require derivative works to be open-sourced under the same license, seem to be central to its core functionalities.

The following are some of the potentially impacted projects:

RPG Maker MV Cheat Menu Plugin: https://github.com/emerladCoder/RPG-Maker-MV-Cheat-Menu-Plugin
RPG Maker MV Speed Plugin Clipboard Hook: https://ulmf.org/threads/rpg-maker-mv-speed-plugin-clipboard-hook.8976
MisakaHookFinder: https://github.com/hanmin0822/MisakaHookFinder
Textractor: https://github.com/Artikash/Textractor
BepInEx: https://github.com/BepInEx/BepInEx
XUnity.AutoTranslator: https://github.com/bbepis/XUnity.AutoTranslator

My intention is solely to inform you of these observations and the potential licensing conflicts arising from the use of open-source projects in 'RenpyThief.' Determining the implications and any necessary actions falls within your purview.

However, I believe it was important to highlight this potential issue due to the reliance on open-source projects as the foundation for the software's core features.

Thank you for your time and understanding. Please let me know if I can provide any further details or clarification.

Best regards
