Hi @bparmentier

I found this app on Google Play Store. This guys just took the source code, added some ads and put it on the Google Play Store...

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 GNU GPL v3 and this guy is violating it by distributing the app without distributing the source code;
  • He is falsely claiming he made the app;
  • Also tell them that this guy has done the same thing already with other apps. Probably this is worth mentioning. (I watch him)

Thanks for letting me know. I will first try to contact the "developer" and if nothing changes I will send the notice to Google.

He didn't even remove the mention to WiFiKeyShare in his app description…

So many open-source code theft on the Play Store... It's really a shame...
