U-Said-it Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Back on topic, the GPL issue is a sticky one since it's rarely adhered to in the Xbox scene. I guess developers figure that, since developing software for the Xbox using the XDK is illegal to start with, the GPL doesn't matter too much. I don't know enough about it so I don't have an opinion on that one way or the other but it's interesting that many Xbox developers have taken this view.I don't see why that's the case. They are completely separate issues. The SDK stuff is the reason why binaries are only uploaded anonymously to some obscure irc. Devs should continue to follow the same rules as everyone else. If BP does indeed include ScummVM in the next release of his, and it's been modified to interface with his frontend, I'd demand the full source code to any changes made to ScummVM (and by proxy the rest of his emulator + gui). Failure to do so would be blatantly dismissing the concept of OPEN source, the programming community, and the LAWS surrounding the issue. If the GPL isn't followed, why all the hub-bub about closed source, open source, or even crediting people? its all ready in R2 you just dont know how to enable hehehehe get over it....you guys talk such shit If you're referring to ScummVM, that's very unfortunate. If you call yourself breaking the law, and insulting an entire community of programmers who conducts themselves properly shit talking, that is also unfortunate. If I see any hint of ScummVM in your next version, I'll notify the proper ScummVM team leaders, and let them take action (if any) from there.
+ T + Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 If the GPL isn't followed, why all the hub-bub about closed source, open source, or even crediting people?To me crediting someone when using their work is just common decency and respect (I guess one could say the same about the GPL) but the much more important side of it for me is that trying to take the credit for someone else's work is just plain wrong, whether it's on a forum, in an emulator, or in the real world; it just won't do. In any event I'm not disagreeing with you about the GPL and I'm certainly not supporting the use of Scummvm in CoinOPS.

zorglub Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 If I see any hint of ScummVM in your next version, I'll notify the proper ScummVM team leaders, and let them take action (if any) from there.Everybody get nazi, what a pile of crap i can read over hereI pity for the other developers that you are supposed to defend... please stop this thanks roberti'm off this place too, good luck to be a household
BritneysPAIRS Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 ill release source changes....and all is good...if people want it in ill enable it and if aurthors want sources ill hand them to them.... lol goodbye zorglub its up to users and not to you...ill ask them
RMM Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 ....sick to death of the flamers Sick to death of your usual ranting, bullshit & general spewing of crap.Remember what nes6502 said of you when you took his FB code without his consent...cancer on the XB scene... Nes6502 didn't write FBA. He took someone else's code and modified/added to it. If nes6502 doesn't want people using his code maybe he shouldn't use other peoples code. The purpose of Open Source projects is that anyone can take that code, build upon it and do whatever they wish. Open Source is not taking work others have done, you contribute a little then act like the project is all yours and no one is allowed to use that code. That's not how it works.
RMM Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 ill release source changes....and all is good...if people want it in ill enable it and if aurthors want sources ill hand them to them.... lol goodbye zorglub its up to users and not to you...ill ask them I hope you follow through on releasing the source as per the license. Just like nes6502 I mentioned in the previous post, you have an obligation.
