> As far as I'm concerned, he's a thief. Oh really? If they violated licencing terms, drop a mail the EFF[1] guys and they'll help to sort it out. They already have helped in sorting out a bunch of cases, most often amicably. If ZodTTD conformed to the licensing terms, what's your point? It's the original developer that picks particular license -- wide is variety available already, covering most grounds. [1] http://www.eff.org/ http://www.eff.org/

EFF only does stuff if an actual copyright holder asks them to (and signs a legally binding thing as such), not random internet people.

  I received a great contact at the EFF during their help towards fighting to maintain legality of "jailbreaking" of the iPhone.

  The author names were the reason for removing those posts, as I noted in my comment. Really that post has nothing to do with open source, and these matters can be handled by emailing me directly if it's such a concern, as I noted.

    props for sticking up for yourself in a public forum (and i should stop bitching about some guy and some product i know next to nothing about) but really i'm not seeing why you can't address the issue that every one seems to have it in for you on. personally i'll grab the popcorn and stfu, if the copyright holders have issues with your distribution i'll let them handle it.

      Appreciate this. I didn't know there were that many people with this mindset until just recently. I've had my GitHub for quite awhile. I will definitely be in full compliance if I freshen up my sources to the latest versions on a couple projects there, and remove a Cydia Store project (as I've just been made aware of). That's the extent of this issue.
