New around here? Welcome to the Kommunity. Sorry you don't like my frankness, I don't tend to be an apologist. I call things what they are.
Unauthorized software using proprietary source code is textbook piracy. Even a couple weeks ago the OS4 team pulled the same shit, it is their MO. They are lucky this is the small sandbox of the Kommunity and no viable company behind it. They would have been sued and and would have lost. They are extremely lucky Stuntz only forced them to require a keyfile. The first release didn't do that.
I am amazed anyone would support this nonsense at all. I guess some nostalgia for "teh name"? Funny how the calls for cooperation only go rabidly in one direction.
I am far from defending Hyperion or Ben H. who talked a lot of nonsense and only put more oil in fire or behavior of individuals who (if true i cannot judge it) used work of others and removed copyrights. But the "NG community" is very small so all the threads using such strong words mostly only was read by normal users and developers and only created bad feelings by those but not changing anything about the situation. We all should lower our wording and not attacking each other because finally it harms all sides. That is not only my view but also shared by others (including developers). People are tired of the war of words in the community. BTW your view is a little uniquesided, Hyperion did not cooperate at all but also MorphOS team did not cooperate much either (with the exception of giving back minimum code required by rules when using Aros code) and some people like Fab. So cooperation is written very small in our whole community unfortunately...
