I myself don't know Chinese so I ran the article though Bablefish and also asked a friend at work to help translate it into English. I now think I check credit free Corpus Christi have a pretty good understanding of what the article is about. The title is "Is ripoff a crime?" or "Plagiarizes innocently?" First I will start with the email interview I had with Jason Chen of CPCW. The following are email check credit free Corpus Christi messages (minus the headers and Chinese footers.
So I've been in jail for 10 years (meaning I would have been at the oldest 15 years old at the time) and that the China run Boston Police is out to get me. Oh and note that Huntersoft says that "Unknown Devices" was GPL, not that Unknown Device Identifier is GPL.
Because he wants check credit free Corpus Christi to say my program is ok to copy from. He wants to say it's ok to copy from because HE DID COPY FROM IT. When I found out that the editor is a friend of Zhangduo I didn't have very high hopes about the article. So I wasn't that surprised when I got the translation. To be fair I can understand completely when trying to figure out who stole which. When contacting several online file listing websites I ran into that problem. My problem with this article is that it lumps what happened with my program with other issues like Internet Explorer vs Netscape Navigator. u free credit report Here is a quick summary of the article as I understand it. First it starts with a story about a program that appears to be called Leap News. I'm unable to find any references to this program on the internet, if anyone knows about this program please let me know. It goes on to say that Leap news has a new feature called "tornado downloading" which uses code from another program called FlashGet.
FlashGet appears to be a download manager that takes a large download from a website, breaks it down to lots of little chunks which then all downloaded at once. Apparently when FlashGet was first written, concept code for download was "open source". Leap News used this code, almost verbatim, which included the FlashGet's email address. I'm unsure if they mean it was open source as in the Open Source movement or just that the source was available for download. Since FlashGet complained about it I think it's safe to assume the latter. credit history check free The article continues by talking about my Unknown Devices (UKD) and Unknown Device Identifier (UDI).
He found about the Pricelessware Huntersoft Alert page reporting that UDI is a ripped version of UKD. He says that Huntersoft (which had an article about him back in 2002, I will try to find that) stated my program was part check credit free Corpus Christi of a Linux project and was Open Source. Why a windows only program would be part of a linux project I have no clue.
Looking at their webpage I don't see any references to any projects they themselves run. I tried to contact them but they have a spam filter that blocks my email server and my isp's netblock. I was unable to even contact the people who created the blackhole list. According to the emails Huntersoft claims the program is GPL not Open Source. Either way my program is neither GPL nor check credit free Corpus Christi Open Source, at least currently. But if the program were GPL you would find that there are several requirements you need to do, some of them quoted below: To sum up, if you want to change a GPL program you must provided complete source code with your program, including pointing out all changes you have check credit free Corpus Christi done to it's source code, keep all copyright notices. So even if my program were under GPL his program would be in violation of that license too. credit report check free Continuing with the article it moves on to how lots of programs take ideas from others.
It uses the examples of Windows taking from Mac (who took it from Xerox), and Internet Explorer from Netscape Navigator (check credit free Corpus Christi who took it from Mosaic). They didn't just take the basic idea of a "program that looks at the device manager and look up devices in a list to know what it is" but instead took the complete program, removed my name and put in his and did the same with my webpage. This check credit free Corpus Christi would be the same as if Microsoft did this: And after Netscape complained they created a new improved version (and hid a trojan in it too) UKD 1.2 and UDI 1.60: UKD 1.2 Main Window: UDI 3.check credit free Corpus Christi 01 Main Window: If Huntersoft used the basic idea I would have no problems with it.
