Hacking Proof TX used code stolen from #reswitched

If people can stay on topic rather than fighting it might be end up being a constructive thread.

maybe thread should be renamed to "Proof TX used open source code provided by reswitched "

If they really did use the code, they violated the license.

I think you're expecting a bit too much from us.

Here's an actual on-topic question: is there any kind of precedent for something like this? Would ReSwitched be able to go after TX successfully with this information?

See https://wiki.fsfe.org/Migrated/GPL Enforcement Cases

Plenty of Chinese based companies have lost in court for the same actions.

Again, if you've never dealt with any of these things first hand, then stop commenting on if/how/what can be done about it. I can assure you all, as someone who HAS been involved in this kind of case at a previous employer, that you absolutely can bring a Chinese company to court (and win) for a license violation.

I believe mods can't edit the titles of threads without OP's approval (i.e. OP reports his first post explaining the name change)

The code was stolen, that's a fact. TX has violated the license set by ReSwitched.

our hero...!

Please report bad posts you see, will make our job easier.

so basically what you're telling me is that i need to be extra careful to make kinda borderline posts so funny/relevant that people will forget to report them?

Does the license belong to all of ReSwitched or those who coded the homebrew launcher specifically?

I think it's just those who contributed to the specific code.

I don't see the problem.
It is pretty obvious that one of the Atmosphere guys is behind SX OS. So he can do with his code whatever he wants incl. dual licensing.

Since it's a group project, it'd probably be ReSwitched as a whole. Legal definitions of so-called 'gentlemen's handshake' groups can be vague, but since they're all on the same page, that won't be a problem.

>account made today

I'm having some serious doubt right about now

The anti-piracy drama seeker you mean?

Someone who opens the door for demons to come then asking for respect. Don't make CFW/HBL so none can pirate things. Hide the code, none can steal from.

If TX really didn't care then why they don't admit it from the beginning? Why anytime anyone bring that up they keep asking for proves? So here your prove you want isn't it? Why don't just admit it already? Is it really that shameful steal public work and make money from it?

Some people care, try not to be such a weenis.

This makes my elbow cry... boy for real I’ll do some digging too a lot of the time it’s usually the opposite

No one that’s part of the reswitched team condones piracy so this logic is false. There were early rumors of tx using stolen code a few months back.

detective holmes you've done it again
how did you come onto this boon of knowledge, good sir?
verily we are all in the dark as to how you could have generated such a vision of truth

seriously though what the fuck how would you come to that conclusion

 

[link42586]

More reason to not support these guys..Patience & we will have A backup loader for free with no hack code. 3 people I know of are working to hack this nonsense..Also they got HBL shortly after it came out..Where they think it came from? And btw their real product is the dongle and u can make one of those for less than 15 bucks if you know what your doing.

i just realized it's the perfect time to use this gif

Are these licenses filed with a federal agency? If so, considering Xecuters location, the worst I can see happening is the SX distribution server site being moved around like Pirate Bay is. Or being blocked in participating nations by national copyright enforcement agencies. But even that would surely cost a large amount of money and manpower to execute, wouldn't it?

It is common sense.
You hire top experts in the field and simultaneously delay release of the competing project. TX will be stupid not to do this.
