[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
check the website of main website of black mesa and credits section. I have taken permission from hikari and Rizal Lovins via PM and IM respectively. And controrary to your comment on "stealing" i think you should check the CyanogenMod license . It is dual licensed under Apache License 2 and GNU General Public License v2. Both of them promotes derivative works. and modifying is NOT STEALING. Your POV doesnt matters at all.

Go ahead bro, just give me credit

Best Regards

Rizal Lovins "

This is in regards to xperia media apps......And I have credited him

"(23:49:41) 664283469: i am planning to create a ROM based on cmXtended with few modifications you mind? i'll credit you and M66B ofcourse

(23:50:01) Maestro: OK

(23:50:25) 664283469: you GPL'd Xtended right?

(23:50:42) Maestro: yes"

this is in regards to use cmXtended as base....... credited him both on the thread and my website..

And I have mentioned m66b too.

Please get your facts clear before humiliating anyone publicly like this. This is an Open Source work. People dont steal. People borrow and improvize/ customize. If you dont like it. Relicense your work with different conditions. I have followed the license of the authors.

And regarding your comment of "FXP" being out of the picture.

There are two points :

1) I am using cmXtended as base and it is not necessary to credit a project till its source. Then it goes on like this cmXtended > CyanogenMod Nightlies (CyanonogenMod) > AOSP > Linux Kernel (Linus Torvalds) > Unix by AT&T and Bell Labs.

2) I have a disagreement with their terms of "do not mirror". As it violates one point of GPL (a licence of CyanogenMod) i.e - redistribution. I am sure they have not relicensed FXP to suite the same.

some xda rules I would like to point out to Steph310

12. Using the work of others.

If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.

(I have abided by it by seeking permission from Hikari and Rizwal "whose works I used")

Lets talk about some violations by you now

2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.

(borrowing a shared work is not stealing)

so To me you are out of the game!

Here is my bad personal opinion about you ...

You decided to include Aptoide in your own rom when you know very well that this is a way to steal the developers!"

And ya. the default instance of Aptoide in Black Mesa doesnt includes any stores / black market apps. Any activity post installation will be at the sole discretion of the user and his choice. If a user wants to install "restricted" applications, a simple net connection and google is what he needs to do so. Or do we remove network connectivity from now on?
