I hate to do this to you guys - drama, but I wish I hadnt :( - GoFuckYourself.com

Damian_Maxcash · 12-11-2005, 06:46 AM

So, I bought Chio's blog script, as a lot of you did I paid $70 + for it. I later downloaded it for free as its a GPL script is available to anyone.

I gave him every opportunity to make it right. I ICQed him and told him that maybe his script guy had made a mistake. He told me that this was the case and that he would put it it right.

Of course that was the last I heard.

Im not going to go into any more detail - if you have lost cash then hit me up.

This really is the most upsetting post I have ever made.

Dalai lama · 12-11-2005, 06:48 AM

I'd like to hear Chio's side of the story.

Maybe you could give us the link to the gpl script, i'm interested.

You should have bought MY gpl script for 45.

Hey You . . . I Know You! · 12-11-2005, 06:57 AM

Not that I don't sympathize, but I would pay NOT to be exposed to Chio's blog.

I've been looking for the perfect Chio filter for years! I don't want to see that fucker or read any of his crap, ever.

Good god, you didn't really pay to read his crap? Please tell me you didn't.

Dynamix · 12-11-2005, 07:04 AM

by it being a GPL script do you mean they unknowingly or mistakenly distributed it under the GP license? Or that it was a pre-existing script somewhere released under the GPL and changed, then re-sold/re-marketed by Chio ?

You cannot incorporate GPL-covered software in a proprietary system. The goal of the GPL is to grant everyone the freedom to copy, redistribute, understand, and modify a program. If you could incorporate GPL-covered software into a non-free system, it would have the effect of making the GPL-covered software non-free too.

WRONG!

wake up people, GPL does not mean free
as long as he provided you the source and didn't claim rights on the gpl
part all is fine!

The thing is:
Changes to a script with a GPL license may only be sold if the changes are also released as GPL. So if one is selling a GPL script or one based on a GPL script one must give out the source code of the script to anyone who asks. If the source code is not freely available then one can sue the author.
But:
I'm not sure if this is also the case in this situation, cause we likely are not hearing the full story.

That was not some fun response that I made up for shits and giggles. It was a direct quote from the GPL's FAQ. Once a portion of software is protected under GPL, it cannot be added to software that is sold. Read up

I'm sure there is a good explanation
Let's see what chio has to say.
Are you certain it is the same source code?

Chio · 12-11-2005, 08:17 AM

Yes this is true. My coder when writing the script for *me* used a couple of the plugins as a basis. Much later when we decided to start selling the script it was completely forgotten about, as the code had so much added, and changed. I did make an announcement after I heard from Damian, and spoke to my coder about it, that we were rewriting the complete script from scratch. I also told damian the same on ICQ. So not sure why he says I haven't said anything.

here's the post: http://www.gfy.com/showthread.php?t=...ht=autoblogger

I have also stated all along the autoblogger was based on scripts I used for wp. The problems I had was they didn't work together. This is why I asked my coder to write a version for me.

The newest version which was supposed to have been done within a couple of days. Most likely will available within a few days.

To be honest Chio I didnt

I also didnt get the message that my money had been refunded, and I doubt anyone else did.

I told you 3 days ago that there was a problem - you told me that it would be fixed the next day. This isnt just a few dollars - sorry.

Where is the code that's available under the GPL?

I bought Chio's product and think it rocks. Am looking forward to the upgrade, but would be interested in implementing this setup on a few other blogs if I can do it with readily available code.

I'd be willing to bet that AutoBlogger does a bit more and makes it a bit easier...but I'll have to see.

After talking to my coder, it was agreed that autoblogger is barely a shell of what it used to be. Regardless he has rewritten the entire thing.

I informed damian of same, and posted a message here on gfy a couple of days ago.
