This is false. Of course Michael is benefitting from the sales and the work he put in.

  > Of course Michael is benefitting from the sales and the work he put in. Based on... what? You don't see it as possible that when granting permission for the iOS adaptation he just assumed it would be freely available, like the original? (at the time of my previous comment, there was no response from the author of the iOS port)

    >Based on... what? Okay. Let me make sure sure everything is crystal clear: - I found the game online via a tweet. - Viewed source and saw's Michael's contact information. - Emailed him and asked him if I could do a for-pay rendition of it on iOS and that I'd split profits with him. - He agreed. - I built it with his oversight/input. - He get's a 50% royalty on all sales. - And now? Well, Michael and I get to deal with ADR clones that just wrap the original via PhoneGap. - And what do the clone say when we try to report them to Apple? "hey! it's open source!"

      Thanks. I was merely arguing that based on the article, we don't really get clarification on whether Townsend was being compensated. When I replied to your previous post I didn't realize you were the author of the port.
