Gee, what a surprise. The paid ebook-converter-and-all-in-one-DeDRM program that casually rips off Alf's work and sells it, and recommends you steal library books, is also in violation of the GPLv3 because they rip off calibre too. |
Not that I approve of their actions but it is (in a way) a backhanded compliment that at least they steal (programming) from the best. You can't find a better storage/ebook converter than Cailbre I tjhink. And Alf's work is useful for helping to back up books that a person has purchased so they don't have to just rely on the cloud alone (if they don't want to). Still I agree that they shouldn't be marketing the work of others as their own and making a profit to boot. Kovid offers Calibre for free and of course Alf can't legally sell his/her work so why should these people benefit from it?
