| How many times to we have to inform the clueless that this is stolen code.
It is copyrighted by Jamey Kirby and StorageCraft. He just got an early
version for evaulation and stripped off their copyrights and put it under
the GPL. Doing that does not make it GPL, but stolen code. It is not worth
the time or money to sue when there is nothing that can be won. There have
been many posts by several people including Jamey and Maxim who have said it
is STOLEN code.
If I come to your home and steal your stuff. Then I take it to a pawnshop.
Can the pawnshop owner advertise it and sell it? I hope not. It is worse
if the pawnshop owner knew it was stolen or was the thief himself. Yes, we
all know where it is located. Most of us know where we can get copies of
almost any software package, music, and movies. Are they not 'stolen' and
had their copyright owner's rights violated?
