Also yes, why don't the bitcore dev buy it for us with the airdrop pot ?
Because it is intellectual property. Can not buy and give out to people just like that.
That is not true. ccminer is gpl’d software, and the gpl explicitly allows you to give gpl’d software to anyone you wish. sp is actually violating the other developers copyrights by not supplying source code with it.
There is nothing wrong with selling it, as sp has, but he cannot legally prevent anyone he gives or sells it to from giving or selling to anyone else.
Its kind of more like "don't be a dick" if all the software devs only sell one copy and then its free they'll stop making things it sucks.
I mean think about how it feels for the bitcore devs to have basically had their coin cloned and renamed bitcoin gold and getting a ton more press for no real reason.
(I know I would be inclined to not want to develop anymore personally speaking)
What about how the developers of ccminer like alexis78 and tpruvot feel having their work appropriated and then sold by sp, in contravention of the license?
Why would you be concerned about protecting the intellectual property of someone that is himself exploiting others intellectual property?
Does SP nothing do? He has the right to demand payment for his work.
No one developer will agree to do something, if only one pays, and everyone will use it. So it happened with Spmod_2. One moron put the mod in public.
I want to buy Spmod_3 in a fold with several people, please send suggestions.Reread what I said. I said "there is nothing wrong with selling it". it's right up there in the quotes.
Of course he has the right to sell it. What he doesn't have, is the right to tell people they can't give it to whoever they want. Because he based his work on others who have put their work under the GPL license. And that license requires that a) he provide source code to his changes (which he is not doing, in violation of the license of the works he's basing on) and b) that the cannot restrict the open distribution of the software by anyone who has been given it (either by sale or otherwise).
You seem all worried that sp won't create more versions, but you don't seem to be worried that people like alexis78 or epsylon won't release the works that sp bases his work on, because they are tired of sp making money off their work and violating the license terms.

By the way, there is no difference between several people combining their money to buy 1 copy and 1 person paying full price and giving it to several friends for free. If you're so concerned with sp making his money, why are you going his demands that everyone buy their own copy at full price?
