I will print these words of sio2 at t-shirt. I guess noone can blame me for anything after they see it.

How exactly are the long term interests of the platform served by having poor quality software fraudulently rammed into the repositories?
Fix the loop holes, forgive each other and move on.
I know Sio2Interactive (what's your name, dude?) hasn't done his best in winning the community's heart; but I don't want to take that personally. IMHO, we'd benefit from having him supporting our platform as much as he need us supporting his products.

Both parties could've benefited from that situation, IF handled properly.
Now, both parties have incurred losses due to the way it was handled.
If only we could harness the energy of the wind generated by all the blovation on the subject that will occur.

That seems like more than a one-off 'first strike' mistake to me.

I know that no apologies will come from the community; but IMHO you shouldn't make quick decisions like this based on a handful of negative comment from A COMPLETELY OPEN FORUM.
Just think it over and let each side make corrections to what was lacking on the first try.
Time will heal. Things will get better.

What's wrong with paying for software?

He just showed us how few substance the community produced and how large the gaping holes still are in "our" QA/Extras process. And in OVI store.We ALL should be ashamed of something like this happening - Sio2 for doing it, we for not offering better support to such a talented developer and especially Nokia for bringing up such a disastrous situation upon the commercial developers. The N900 has been available for a 100 days now, and still no real Ovi store. Just a pity or really ridicilous? And of course, NO words about this from Nokia for months.

Again, you're confusing (open source) donations with paying for a ready-to-roll-app.

You might allow me to compare this with real life :
Getting paid while doing a job is like being on a company's payroll. You'll do your job whilst getting paid. No offense to Gary for deciding to go that path!
Developing a complete application and then selling it is more of a self-employed way of working.
You may decide which way suits best your needs and way of life. But don't blame other people for thinking the other way around...
