Same thing. Just because I bought a copy of some source code and its "clearly defined" that I did indeed pay for one copy does not mean the same loophole doesnt exist when it comes to posting it all over the web.

Obvioulsy I havent bought any source code nor do I plan on it. But my point still stands. There were "clearly defined" limitations set when he discovered he could only vote once with one account.

Just because I jiggle a door handle and find it unlocked does not mean I should walk in.
Well good luck with that point of argument in a court of law.

Again you people are basing your arguments on your interpretation of the rules (which I will again point out do not say anything about this).You can be upset about it, you can choose to no longer support his software, but the postings here went far beyond that to the point of exclusion of this developer from all future maemo dealings etc.


Just because you see the word in one way i n no way means the rest of the populous has to see the world the same way. Its that kind of single minded belief that an individuals point of view is the only correct one that leads to a crap load of problems in other areas of the world. Its entirely possible that in the developers part of the world, what he did would not have raised even an eyebrow. Cultural differences etc can give one person a completely different view of right and wrong. That is why RULES!!!!! documented are so important.

If the terms of use for the repositories had said ANYTHING about this situation I would be right at the front of the queue calling for censure of this guy. But they don't, so I am willing to accept that this was the end result of a farked up situation with no malice intended, which is precisely what his reply in the thread says.
