CurseForge flagging HandyNotes plugin as derivative work — question for maintainer

Hi — I maintain a small HandyNotes plugin (Dive Bar Front Crawl, for the housing endeavor pins) and it's been repeatedly flagged on CurseForge as "a derivative work from another project which is licensed as All Rights Reserved," with no further detail given despite multiple appeals. I've ruled out my own code, art, and coordinate data as the cause through several rounds of review.

My best working theory at this point is that CurseForge's system is flagging my plugin simply because it depends on and extends HandyNotes via the public plugin API (LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):GetAddon("HandyNotes"), RegisterPluginDB) — and HandyNotes itself is licensed All Rights Reserved, which an automated check might be misreading as unauthorized derivative use rather than the intended plugin extension your own CurseForge listing describes ("HandyNotes supports plugins that other authors can write").

Has this happened to any other HandyNotes plugin authors that you know of? And if you're willing, would you be able to confirm in writing (even just a short comment I could quote in my appeal) that third-party plugins using the public API are permitted under your license? That would probably resolve this immediately on CurseForge's end.

Thanks for maintaining such a foundational addon for the whole community, by the way — sorry to bring you a moderation headache along with the appreciation. <3

If it's helpful, here is the link to my repo if you want to investigate any of my code. https://github.com/NerdyBertie/HandyNotes_DiveBarCrawl

Start by reviewing the LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):GetAddon("HandyNotes") and RegisterPluginDB entry points described in the issue, along with the linked HandyNotes_DiveBarCrawl repository. Done means confirming whether third-party plugins using HandyNotes' public API are permitted under its license, or documenting the maintainer's clarification for the CurseForge appeal.
