I really don't like the fact there is zero developer support for Market given the fact it's self-regulated. The game company / Google partner could easily contact them to remove my app. Fair enough. But how do I contact a human at Google's

I am the one who was removed from Google's Android Market. The game company issued a takedown notice to Google. Their motives are unknown.

Your assessment is fairly accurate. Though I consulted with others over GPLv2 and its usage of libraries. One person consulted with was the author of this software. The UI is in Java and is part of a closed source project which I have been

That's a shame. There's not much to this. Summed up here: http://www.zodttd.com/wp/2011/05/open-source-software-licens...

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 pro

Also note that porting from a desktop environment to a mobile phone involves a lot more than simply running it through a different compiler. At times there are very major changes in code required on top of the replacement of input code, and

Cute. But in reality they could tell me what I violated in their terms, and take down those specific application(s). Then if there was a trend, they could terminate the account as they normally do. That's the trend. They broke this trend wi

Will gladly let you know, but I'm not following. Take what down exactly? Thanks for reading TFA. :)

Thanks... This all comes down to freshening up my GitHub and removing a Cydia Store product. This will be done but I let this mob mentality continue for too long. I spread myself pretty thin. I can count 20+ projects depending how far into

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.

That's part of the discussion I intended for. This wasn't about licensing. And they could take down the apps in question. But why remove our entire accounts? The treatment involved by robo-emails and no human support was scary.

You are correct. This was not about open source violations, as that was not the reason Google removed our apps and followed through with removing our accounts.

Go ahead and continue the negative talk about me in regards to licensing violation claims if you must. So be it. But as mentioned earlier, I posted this as to why Google responded the way they did. And it had nothing to do with open source
