Ahh that is so much clearer now , your only Linux Bunnies
Well im not, I worked in the software clouds far above where Linux Bunnies were allowed to go.
I worked only for Fortune 500 companies in 18 different countries and in those worlds Linux just simply cant cut it. I SEE YOU AGREE THAT THERE IS LITTLE NEED (OR INTEREST IN) FOR Commercial Software IN LINUX.
#1 no i did not, I bought the software before I even heard about THE ALLEGED " misappropriation of the code "
#2 not what I said at all - please read before you make comments, I never mentioned open source code once in any of my emails - just commercial vs free software.
#3 I seem to remember the highest courts in the UK and in the USA all agreed with Sony in every case that DRM removal is illegal. I also remember the millions in fines it imposed on those prosecuted. STRANGE THING IS THERE IS NO MENTION OF THIS, OR POINTED TO, ON APPRENTICEALFS SITE!!!
#4 A cursory reading of the Anti-Piracy Notice at Apprentice Alf's blog is no guarantee your plugin is legal, unless the website is maintained daily to reflect the rulings of your "local justice system" which would take a full time legally trained person to interpret accurately, and even then any dumbing down of the judgements can never be valid, as they fail to contain all the legal information from the originals PLEASE SEND ME THE PRECISE RULINGS YOU BELIEVE MAKE YOUR PLUG-IN LEGAL !!!! I WOULD DO THE RESEARCH TO PROVE YOU WRONG BUT YOU COULD NEVER AFFORD IT!!
#5 my money is on Linux programmers who are not in a position to test on multiple operating systems before releasing their work upon the world.
When it comes to apologies I think you got that the wrong way around unless you can prove that your plug-in is actually legal as you claim and does not do any of the things you claimed professional software does.
And don't be concerned, I will never use this site again now I know the kinds of people running it !!
