We do not encourage closed source software here, only open source software.

Donation-ware as idoit suggests is alright - most open source licenses allow for donation-ware.

But as idoit points out, you missed a decimal point position in the translation to USD - that should be $5, not $50.

You should also include the terms (or a reference name and link) to the OSI approved license you choose.
Most of the stuff here uses the MIT license, see:
http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT
I expect it is available in translation also.

Another **very** important point -
Always give credit where credit is due! Always!
It is a matter of honor. 面目

So when you reference our work, give us credit, don't just copy our packages to your own site and re-distribute them as if they where your own.

Even better - just give a link to page where people can get the original packages, such as:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=225030

Where you can see that the packages you have on your site are out-of-date.
You really should update the jail break and the USBnetworking packages you are re-distributing.

All of the above are only suggestions, suggestions that will help prevent you from dis-honoring yourself here the way the Doukan Project has.

#79 79 - whoot!
