Go scorche!
Are you going to challenge the seller directly, or find out via spidersoftware?
scorche:
I plan on posing as a perspective buyer to gather more information and then see how it goes from there. However, I will not do this until I speak with some people...
LinusN:
Well, it is not forbidden to sell Rockbox, as long as they provide the source code (could be as simple as a link to http://www.rockbox.org). The WPS's are a different matter.
Sure, why not ask them a few questions? Go ahead - but don't be deceptive yourself.
scorche:
There is no reason to be deceptive. The only deceiving I am doing is to be interested in his service. ;) And that is just for the introductory message to see if he mentions Rockbox or claims that it is his own work.
I am not after a taking down of this service (hence why I am not writing a message to eBay...yet anyway). I just want to see credit given where it is due and see that he at least does things properly.
Llorean:
Well, for one thing, none of the WPSes in our gallery are explicitly under any licenses, which means that in terms of US copyright law (which doesn't necessarily apply here, but I hardly know what copyright laws are like in his country) he can't redistribute them on the iPod, which he's doing.
As well, doesn't the GPL actually require him to host the source code, if he's distributing the software as a binary? I thought that one of the things that came up recently in regard to the GPL was the fact that you couldn't simply link to source code hosted somewhere else if you were redistributing a binary because there was never a guarantee that it would be there, or available as the same version as your binary. I seem to recall that coming up in regards to some complaint.
