[Skim-app-users] thanks first

I just wanted to quickly weigh in on the discussion RE what developers give up as they contribute. I can't quickly follow all the ins an outs of the discussion, but it sounds like someone has tried to unscrupulously capitalize on the hard work of the Skim developers without rendering proper int

Re: [Skim-app-users] Skim on the Mac App Store?

You and Patrik either did not read what I wrote or don't understand it. I did not say he's not allowed to release his own copy. The fact is that he did not comply with the tiny little bit that he is legally forced to do. That disqualifies him completely in my eyes (even if he'd do so in the futu

Re: [Skim-app-users] Skim on the Mac App Store?

The other thing I would do is to submit Skim to the App Store and have it there for free, basically undermining any sales PDF Reader might get through the App Store. -Peter- On Tue, Jan 24, 2012 at 2:37 PM, Peter Rich wrote: > Patrik, >I'm sorry, I didn't mean to accuse you of advocating th

Re: [Skim-app-users] Skim on the Mac App Store?

Patrik, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to accuse you of advocating this behavior, but I clearly did that. Sorry. I was trying to explain why people would feel slighted by what has happened. Mark A is right, the license is very open and liberal, and if that's not the intent of the original developer

Re: [Skim-app-users] Skim on the Mac App Store?

I completely agree with Patrik on this. Yes, the software should be pulled while it's in violation of the license. But, once this person put's that copyright notice in it would be entirely hypocritical to try and stop him/her from redistributing (even for money). This is, of course, something that

Re: [Skim-app-users] Skim on the Mac App Store?

So, I've been a long-time Skim user and have experienced many ups and downs with the software, but I have to keep coming back to it as it has long been one of the best pdf annotation tools out there. Though I have found Christiaan's replies to often be somewhat put-offish, I have also found him to

Agreed on all accounts. This kind of behavior is totally unacceptable because it preys on benevolent open-source-developers. On 24.01.2012, at 19:04, Christiaan Hofman wrote: > > On Jan 24, 2012, at 17:34, M A wrote: > >> On Fri, Jan 20, 2012 at 2:42 AM, Fischlin Andreas >> wrote: >>> They
