Its amazing you know. You create an open source game, release, and get riddled with claims of license breaches and copyright infringements.

Today I decided to go all out and send a reply to one such claim by a not-to-be-named RPG game developer in PHP.

His original email was a classic example of what I receive – unresearched, unprovable, absolutely no evidence, and enough misconceptions to sink the good ship FSF. ;-) In short, that this email was ever sent is a miracle. It’s pretty disgraceful in fact.

I admit to be suffering a growing case of paranoia – I get this ugly feeling reading such emails that they are being addressed to a presumably uninformed newbie who should shut up shop and stop developing what could be a good PHP game. It must be paranoia – I’ve still yet to release a half decent version of SR or QS (been a year in the waiting). And I’m pretty sure I’m not a newbie.

Sometimes I think people just don’t really think before they send out these emails – it would at the very least explain a few things – like a well known developer claiming a license breach without even bothering to *read* my source code!!!

Must stop giggling…;-)
