Hello all,
Today I got an email of a user asking me to help him make a plugin
called 'zitaretuner' work. I never wrote such a plugin, and I
didn't even know it existed. So I can't help this user.
Of course this made me curious, and I managed to get a copy of the
source code of this lv2 plugin. And I wasn't very amused.
[...]
I've complained about this sort of thing before,
and this time I'm
really pissed. So let one thing be clear: I will never again
release any code under a license that allows this sort of thing to
happen.
You must not ever release any source code to anyone then. Cause this
kind of thing is bound to happen. People will ignore licenses. People
will butcher code.
It has always been the same with any other idea that mankind ever came
up with and will always be the same. Some will butcher them. Some will
transform them into a new gem, but almost always standing on the
shoulders of the giants that came before them. That's the condition of
human progress. Unless we introduce the total police/thought state..
And whether one's name is attached to it or not is completely
meaningless in the long run, for human lifetime is short compared to
mankind's.
Have fun,
Flo
