I think he meant "source of 2" as in the source of the 2nd item you mentioned (WAD Manager), not source of two separate items.

Chalk up another development cockblock to tuejd and the gpl police. I'll never understand why you constantly hinder the real devs here to the point that they're not interested in releasing it anymore. I can think of at least 6 great programs that you've personally tried to stop, 2 of which development was halted. I hope the devs involved don't put up with the bullying and get this working. Best of luck!!!

How does trying to make sure people follow the GPL translate to trying to hinder development? The idea of the GPL is to ENCOURAGE development, by making sure people that make use of GPL code contribute their changes to it back, so that everyone can benefit. And it's not healthy to not take it seriously. There have been entire companies with that mindset, and they've been sued to force compliance. The last thing we need is more legal action taken because someone doesn't take the GPL seriously.

I'm confused. I was trying to point out that this project wasn't necessarily bound by the GPL, but apparently that translates into bullying people and attempting to halt development?

Funny how the GPL always jumps in.
Even funnier is the the one claiming the violation is never the copyright holder, making the claim useless.

Wad manager: It was my upload, so my mistake. I added a link to the source on the downloads page.
HBC 3.3: Uploaded long before any message from TT. Though I still disabled it in respect of TT.
Homebrew Filter: This may be the problematic one. Regardless, we never got any messages from the copyright holder about it.


Now we had that, please get back on topic. Thanks.

EDIT: sorry I forgot to wrap this in opinion tags.

"real" devs? Because tueidj just pretends to develop very cool stuff?

Also:

Thanks to some serious work by tueidj, all homebrew applications can now utilize this USB2 module through libogc.

USB access is more stable, thanks to tueidj

Seems like a fairly real dev to me...

And as he himself said, in this case he was trying to suggest the project may NOT be bound by GPL.

In addition, it is morons like you that make the world the terrible place it is. You somehow don't seem to understand the ridiculously simple concept that once you use GPL licensed code in your project, you are entering a legally binding agreement to follow the terms of that license (same applies for any other license of course, not just GPL).

There's no such thing as a private google code repository.

Yep, I noticed that Need to find another private way to start off... suggestions?

If you have your own server, set up a git repository. If not, maybe sourceforge or github can do the priavte repo you're looking for (not sure, never used either service myself)

From where they get so much fury, best quiet that they will never anything good with their caught and their hatred, can drop a change.

Funny how the GPL always jumps in.

Funny how GBAfail never learns.

Even funnier is the the one claiming the violation is never the copyright holder, making the claim useless.

It's only invalid if you are ignorant, let me cite the forum rules.

These rules also apply to other "warez" too, not just ROM, WAD and ISO files; this includes (but is NOT limited to) - licensed and copyrighted software, code, movies, music, video games, magazines, comics, e-books, television shows, illegal torrents, etc. These rules also account for "keygens" and "cracks" including how to obtain, apply or install them.

Wad manager: It was my upload, so my mistake. I added a link to the source on the downloads page.
HBC 3.3: Uploaded long before any message from TT. Though I still disabled it in respect of TT.

Uhm, you were never given redistribution rights, how is that "Uploaded long before any message from TT".

Homebrew Filter: This may be the problematic one. Regardless, we never got any messages from the copyright holder about it.

So can I post ISOs too as long as nintendo doesn't say anything?

EDIT:typo

Funny how just YOU jump in into this.
You always comes up when these types of discussions comes up.

You are the only one bullying around here

Not understanding the GPL is even more reason to be reminded of what it says

If a nocompliant coder asked what exactly his options were I'm sure there would be more then enough people around to help
If he instead displays your attitude its no wonder his stuff is taken down

It takes only seconds to be compliant if there is need for speed
but if he displays willingness nobody will mind a reasonable delay

[Remfin]

There's the other officer on duty. The reason it translates into hindering development is that the devs focus their work on compatibility and fixing bugs, and then they get threatened by these two to have their work taken down if they don't hurry up n deliver w/e the police want. It makes devs not want to continue doing what they enjoy(ask the devs, you know who I'm talking about). I understand a friendly reminder that they need to follow gpl, but some aren't even sure what that entails. It's just a shame that a dev has to stop his work to immediately comply with gpl or face a bunch of bullying. I think you should take a different approach.

This goes both ways, because there are a number of projects we've had "controversy" around that probably only exist due to GPL violations hindering development of the GPL-friendly developers who would be releasing a far-superior product if they weren't being hindered.

One example is the entire cIOS area...there are a number of devs who know how to do what Riivolution/RawkSD do, and I know many of them have actually made tools privately that do it, and unlike the Riiv/RawkSD developers they won't particularly care if their code makes pirates' lives easier...but none of them have actually released it. Could it be because they got sick of their GPL-licensed code (repeatedly) having its license violated and people in the community fighting against them and claiming they aren't "real developers" every time they try and get it fixed?

Development of DML will start(continue) soon, some things need to be set up first, todo list, git, and and and...

They are making their own posts. I think you mean for them to make their own thread.
