только что Крис, M0NKA, написал что любые коммерческие продажи готовых трансиверов или частей без его согласия нарушают авторские права. как же все-таки люди не уважают чужой труд.

Hello Everyone,
I have been always very nice and trying to keep everyone happy, but it seems it has come this time
that some things needs to be in the clear.
************
The mcHF projects is released under NON-COMMERCIAL USE clause. Me and my company -
Genie Projects LTD retain full copyrights on the project as software and hardware!
If anyone wants to do anything commercial with the project, please let me know so i can give
you an invoice with appropriate license fee.
************
Fair use is fair use. If you want to make cases, extension boards, or built for colleagues and charge
for your work, it is ok. I would appreciate if you drop me a line first off course.
Removing the non commercial use notice from the header files is not ok, seriously i don't care
what the GPL v3 says, i never agreed to this!
Why am i posting this. Well i had a very interesting e-mail from Andreas(DF8OE). Seriously guys,
i don't know what are you smoking there in Germany, but is not good for your health. Here some
exerts:
"And if chinese cloners want to use it: of course they can do! And if they improve something: We can use it, because it is GPL v3, too
73
Andreas"
So let me repeat to you (Andreas) what have i permitted and what not:
- write a book about the mcHF - yes
- start kit business in Germany - no
- kick out Clint from the project - no
- convert the source code to GPL v3 - yes
- remove the non-commercial use clause notice - no
Anyway, i know you going to post a long rant about open source, and bla bla. But if you are so passionate
about releasing the mcHF project absolutely free for all, why don't you write me a check, i will pass you full ownership and you do whatever you want ? At the end of the day, this is what people with strong convictions
would do, right ? Or you want to play activists with my money and work ?
73, Chris
M0NKA
