Copyright violation

[Poussinou]

Hi @1hakr

I found this app on the Google Play Store. This guy just took your source code, added his own ads in it and put it on the Store, without warning this is free software...

As you are the owner of the source code, feel free to open a request to google here to remove the false app from the Store, if it's your wish ;)

Don't forget to tell Google that:

• The app is licensed under Apache license and this guy is violating it;
• He is falsely claiming he made the app;
• Provide a link to this repo and to your own app;
• Provide some screenshots of your app.

@1hakr There is another one here

It looks like people are really going after this code - to claim it is their own!

As with @Poussinou, I encourage you to pursue the Google Play link he provided.

I think the FSF also has resources to help with license infringement, so you may want to look at their site.

Im looking to use some part of this code in my app. How can I do it legally?

@Drakot Read the license.

@Drakot,

Here is the license for this work:

Here is an outside resource that may help you to understand how to proceed properly:

I hope that's helpful.
