Benefiting from Open Source Code - own thread

[stash_old]

The final word comes from the wording on Robert's own SourceForge access point :-

This is the wording to grant use :-

YOU CANNOT redesign and sell variations based on the myFocuserPro OR copy myFocuserPro code without authorization and permission.

Permission is granted for personal and Academic use only.

 

The person in question did the opposite and the code was clearly hijacked IMHO - This is not Microsoft or other large corp chasing the small person. 

No matter what the other person may say in defence - and he/she admits using the code or parts of it  - clearly it breaks the above permissions.

Nothing more to be said please don't do it

An unusual post. Is there some background you can share with us?

Took me a while to find the context once I'd read it:
