You have to understand that CSipSimple is NOT a company !!! So "u
r do and product a company" is absolutely WRONG !!!!
It's an opensource project released under GPL license terms !
If you don't understand what it means and that it means that your
source code (or part depending on the mode) also has to be open...
you should not choose CSipSimple as a base for your work.
It's clear and explained on the wiki page.
Re read it :
http://code.google.com/p/csipsimple/wiki/Licensing?wl=en
I remind that as many time as I can here and everywhere. The goal
of the project is USERS !! Not companies ! If companies wants to
play the game and wants to grants the same rights I grant by
releasing CSipSimple, it's just fine, and they are welcome to do
their own version.
If they don't want to give users the same rights I give by
releasing the app, they are clearly not welcome and will not
respect law as it's the terms of the GPL. And I'll sue anyone
doing that because it's clearly not the reason why I release the
code.
You must understand the license before using an opensource
project.
GPL is not Apache or MIT license. There is various opensource
licenses and not all are equal regarding what you are allowed to
do with. Each license has a purpose and choosing the GPL for
CSipSimple is a deliberate choice, and there is a reason behind.
So if you want to leave the project and base your work on
something that doesn't take care of users feel free.. but it will
not be csipsimple ! My spare time spent by coding csipsimple will
never benefit a company that wants to handcuff their users !
Besides I don't understand the point about the "jni" protection.
What do you mean ??
If you find a security hole, it's a very bad reaction to keep it
for you !
I would prefer you to publish it here or to send me a mail about
that !! I don't known in which spirit you are basing your work on
csipsimple but it's clearly not in the goal to benefit users, so
it's apparently incompatible with my approach.
I know it's rare to see a real opensource GPL project, but this
one is this kind of project !
It's not commercial, will never be, and if you don't want to dance
by this rule, just don't use it as it's forbidden by the license.
I develop the app 1 day a week as a hobby and I will never accept
rude guys telling me what I should do of my free time. I don't
know what you thought, but was wrong ;). I will never dance your
rules !
I hope you understand my position and that you'll change your mind
on freedom you give to your users. If not, just don't work on the
top of csipsimple it will not be legal when released !
