[Galaxy S II General] Krishnadusad:
Yeah quite a fight. All famous erd's made their appearances ( GM,SC,Franco, Chainfire, Hacre , Entropy512 ) . In my opinion though it was more of SC's fault . This post by hacre says it all --

'Hey guys, heard there was something going dow...

Oh awesome! Do I smell a supercurio/gokhanmoral collaboration to improve our SGS3 even furth

Oh...

No need to repeat yourself champ.

Yeah yeah great, he's forking your GPL code, so what? That happens with a lot of GPL projects, when the original developer stops maintaining it, when the original developer CHANGES THE LICENSE, when the original developer closes the source, etc etc.

Oh, how good of you. All hail the benevolent supercurio.

If you don't release broken stuff, where'd gokhanmoral get the code from? As for "what you allow", sorry to break this to you sunshine, but GM can do what the hell he likes with stuff that's in the public domain. Something you'd do well to remember when you're receiving money for something that wouldn't exist without the GPL.

Not so anal that you didn't release the apparently buggy code that you're losing your mind over now, eh?

How fortunate we have a developer currently forking the project to make it work on the Galaxy SIII eh?

I'm going to put this in really simple terms for you:

THERE IS NO "MIS-USE" OF YOUR CODE, IT IS LICENSED UNDER THE GPL, IF GOKHANMORAL WANTS TO PORT THE PRINCIPLES OF IT TO HIS KERNEL, HE CAN, YOU IMBECILE.

Forks/ports whatever you want to call it don't happen instantly, they don't happen overnight and when the original author is being a f**ksock over it all, the task at hand becomes that much harder. If I recall correctly one of the things you've *****ed about with the open source aspect of Voodoo is lack of input from other developers, yet here you are crapping all over one of the developers that HAS helped you in the past? You ungrateful disgrace to the ERD badge. You're literally being an utter **** to a fellow ERD, proud of yourself are you?

Oh great, not content with making utterly stupid attacks in a fellow developer's thread, here we go with a derail about payment options. PAYMENT OPTIONS. In a KERNEL THREAD.

The very thing you've been in here *****ing about despite the fact it's GPL code...

Aww. Yeah, add yourself to the list of people that taint the kernel license, which will make submitting kernel bugs back to mainline a pain in the arse because they won't even look at a stacktrace if the kernel is tainted.

Bravo.

ATI open sourced their drivers. Nvidia recently got told "f**k you" by Linus Torvalds.

Ah yes, the "business risk". How are Red Hat's revenues by the way? You don't have to open source the application and GPL software vendors make their money on the back of a quality product and on good support, not being a self-serving ass in a fellow developer's thread in a community forum without which YOU wouldn't be anywhere near as well known as you are now and thus wouldn't be able to earn sweet sweet Euros with your new closed source Voodoo mods.

You could, you know, PM people, or create your own thread to clarify all this bollocks instead of continuing a 23 post hijack.

Heaven forbid you collaborate with another developer. Unless it suits you of course. Remember when you gave Roach a ton of crap over Voodoo on the Asus Transformer? Good times.

So you (allegedly) shared knowledge with him in a PM and expected him to what, keep it a super super secret? We're all supposed to be on the same side here you pillock, promoting good development practices and collaboration on an open source project. You don't get to collaborate and then piss and moan when someone uses the knowledge you passed on!

I...I honestly have no words for this. Congratulations, you've managed to create a post that I cannot adequately respond to without risking either a forum infraction or a ban, your post is that filled with utter utter nonsensical diatribe.

Hahaha your what now? Last I was aware, nvidia are a tech company that own trademark rights on "Voodoo" in a computing aspect. Claiming that you've forked a project and identifying that project by name is not a trademark infringement you tit, nor is keeping aspects of your GPL code intact as you wrote them, such as sysfs entries with voodoo* in the name. Not only that, you don't own trademark, or copyright, on "Voodoo" or someone uttering the words "Voodoo sound" nor do you have prior art for what your project even does in a patentable sense. If you're going to try and trademark/patent troll, at least show at minimum Apple levels of competence while doing it, otherwise you just look like a clueless jerk.

So he can "threaten" to do something "anarchic" and that's a Bad Thing, but it's perfectly fine for you to start throwing around threats to get XDA staff involved? Nice double standard. You seem to be full of these.

Yeah, pretty much every post of yours in this thread. You sold out, fine, that's your perogative, good luck to you, but don't act surprised when people take a moral stance against it, given that without work provided by others for free, you wouldn't now be in a position to make money off your Voodoo project. I'm honestly disgusted at your behaviour and I was vocal in being pleased you were given ERD status on the site. How you've chosen to go after another ERD, or even just another developer, when they've done nothing wrong, is absolutely reprehensible. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Make that 22 posts of yours, not 23, that are completely irrelevant to this thread because yeah, this is ugly but not for the reasons you think.

Shame on you, sir. Shame.'

On page 162 of the thread. For those of you who missed it .
