Ridiculous...

 

It still contains all of the code examples Dr.Best posted here...

 

@Mods and Team: Please delete the attachments as they're clearly violating Dr.Bests copyright and licenses!

Not really. If @WanWizard implies that DMM is stealing, he should at least be able to give some hints what he has in mind there That's all I'm saying. No DMM glorification or anythin.

Otherwise he'd just be falsely accusing Dream. But of course if you can show the opposite, I'd say DMM should give you credit for this and be ashamed.

DMM still seem to borrow new features from us (which is against the license but since their source is closed we can't prove they do), and implements these features slightly different so there is no compatibility anymore.

Interesting thought. I tried thinking what you might be talking about, but I can't find anything where you're incompatible with DMM except AC3+. And of course DMM implemented a different flag just to annoy OpenPLi-team

But I'm honestly interested what you're contribution to E2 could be, as I flashed the last PLi on E1 where it was quite ok but besides a different menu not much different from the others.
So please just tell me a few features you had before DMM had them (I guess that's more safe to say than, what DMM might have boroughed as nobody could clearly control that as you said).

DMM clearly doesn't want "their" code to be used on other hardware platforms, and they don't seem to want users of DMM hardware to use other images then their own. So they closed the door.

That indeed is obvious and was stated various times by DMM. It's sad, that E2 core is closed source therefore but if it keeps DMM alive, I'm good with it.

P.S.: Please don't blame DMM for your decision. In fact you abandoned DMM a long time ago, when you decided to support all those other imitating manufacturers who wouldn't be able to build anythin without your work.

With all due respect MiLo but you're statements make no sense at all!

1st: If stating/saying/posting anything in public would wave ones copyright, nobody could sell any licenses on anything (no software, no pictures, no texts/books,...). The internet and this forum are not different than any other publication. Ok, he stated no license or anything, but from the context it is totally clear that he does not wish

2nd: No it's the other way round You are mixing up free software and open source! Open source simply means, what the word means: The source is open (in your words accessible) for everyone. Nothing less, nothing more!
However, free software is only software you can use/change/distribute/... for free (or with very small restrictions). If you say Dr.Best's software is not free, then you're right. But the license does say this, too
I think these statements are more than clear:

+# It's NOT allowed to distribute any parts of this plugin or its source code in ANY way
+# to hardware which is NOT licensed by Dream Multimedia GmbH.
+# It's NOT allowed to execute this plugin and its source code or even parts of it in ANY way
+# on hardware which is NOT licensed by Dream Multimedia GmbH.
+#
+# If you want to use or modify the code or parts of it,
+# you have to keep MY license and inform me about the modifications by mail.

Transfering the channel list painter to python will slow down the building of this list.... is that what we should prefer?

 

This is what was done in this plugin! And as Dr.Best said: It was just copied from the Merlin team's code!
