In fact, I am very reluctant to say this, but considering this matter is a big lesson for us, so I still write to remind you to open the source.
Yesterday afternoon, an email in the list of cnpack made me very excited, and the open source project of CnWizards was released abroad, and the response was not bad. Soon, there are also users in Borland's newsgroups to try to use this expert package, and the reaction is also very good.
Unfortunately, the next day is coming. The first is Gexpert's author erik Berry sent an email, meaning that in the CNWIZARDS code, a part of the GE code is quoted, but does not indicate the GE copyright protocol. At the same time, CNWIZARDS is released by the GPL protocol, Erik Berry reminds the CNPACK: GPL protocol requires all the needs of all the needs in the system, the dynamic library file must be the GPL protocol release, but the VCL class library relying on CNWIZARDS does not follow the GPL protocol, so It is not appropriate to publish this open source project using the GPL protocol. Seeing this email, I am very grateful to Erik Berry in my heart. This is a good help for domestic open source organizations / projects without external experience.
However, things happening later are not just that: Modalmaker's author gerrit beuze found links to CNPACK's FTP servers in Google. Although the FTP of CNPACK is open but not open, unfortunately, the FTP address has been mentioned in the mailing of CNPACK, and gerrit beuze finds this mailing list ... Subsequent gerrit beuze found MODALMAKER on the cnpack FTP server The cracked version, FinalBuilder, Delphi5-9 version and C Builder5 / 6, so he sent a fierce post in Borland's newsgroup, claiming that cnpack is a sinful pirate. Also, the screenshot of the FTP server was released at the post http://modelmakertools.com/piracy/ftpcnpack2.gif. Subsequently, the author of FinalBuilder also arrived ...
In fact, I think if the author of MM does not find MM crack on FTP, may not be the case. But in fact, CNPACK's approach violates his interests from some extent, and it is indeed inappropriate. Domestic situation, everyone knows, I don't have any opinions. Just thinking about it, when the domestic open source project is going to the international stage, we must pay attention to the copyright, agreement. For example, there are many Linux release versions of domestic N, I don't have much to say ...
The progress behind things does not know what to do, but in a timely man in the bdn, I hope to save the reputation as much as possible. This apology statement is written, it is written, and it is reasonable. It is a model of English writing. =
In this case, you can see the message of the entire event: http://newsgroups.borland.com/cgi-bin/dnewsweb?utag=undi.thirdpartytools.general&xrelated=49416&cmd_related=Reled
