Excellent.
Hi Guys,
I was contacted by someone claiming to be from "RSD" ??, named Danny
Griegs, off-list, claiming I have the source code for sit2.c and cannot
distribute it.
I want to make clear to everyone that the tarball I've provided only
contains the C-equivalent of the "objdump -dx" output from the
media_build-bst/v4l/sit2.o.x86 which is distributed officially by DVBSKY.
He claimed I had to pull the tarball off my site right away or face
legal actions. I cannot understand this, and would like to ask you guys
what you think. Obviously my sit2.c is too similar to their "licensed"
sit2.c. And now these guys want to send a lawyer after me. What a mess.
Should I laugh or cry. Any advice from you guys about this?
BTW: The hexdump of the sit2.o.x86 contains the string "license=GPL".
Does that give me any rights to redistribute the re-assembled C-code ?
