When ppl spread my work for free, ppl won't donate anymore because they just use my stolen work to boost their profit. When I release #3, the stolen work is not profitable anymore, and the only option is to donate or steal my work again. If they steal again, I get 2% of the profit from everyone who mine with my stolen miner.
Why do you bitch about 2%.?
I release a faster miner, that will boost your profit, and my profit. It's a win win both for me and the honest donators, and loosing game for the scammers who stole and published my work.
It's funny you are complaining about stealing...
The problem it not that you are selling your mods (you can call i donating all day long, but you are just selling it). You are absolutely right, that you are able to sell your work.
The problem is, your work is based on code under the GPL license (because it seems you are unable to start it from scratch), with require you to give access to your code if requested (which has been done multiple times). And you have to do this, even if you would give your code away for free. We can be sure you know that stuff, you just ignore it because you think nobody will ever get you.
So the "thieves" steal from someone who violated the GPL license for years.
This is just stupid fucking rhetoric to get things for free. You aren't going to 'force' him to release his work for free. If push comes to shove, he, just like a lot of other developers that make their own miners stop making them. Then big farms who can afford to hire actual developers get easy high performance miners with no competition.
You lose, public developers lose, and private farms win. Go educate yourself before you make fucking retarded knee jerk statements. GPL licensing has absolutely no baring what so ever here. No one is going to take SP to court, no one is losing lots of money because of this (except big farms), and at the end of the day it really doesn't matter.
People use whatever rational they want to justify their actions. Only thing GPL licensing is helping in this case is megafarms and I'm guessing your two rigs don't qualify for that status.
