Someone stole this and is selling it about archisteamfarm HOT 8 CLOSED

Morever, you do not have a proof that he in fact uses ASF as a part of his infrastructure. You can however ask the user if he in fact uses part of ASF, and if yes, he should state it clearly along with my copyright notice on his website, as license requires.

Wow, using Apache License is weird.

GPL is more protective, but whatever.

from archisteamfarm.

Indeed it is, but it's not my intention to prohibit commercial or closed-source use of ASF.

Moreover, if somebody is stupid enough to pay 8$ monthly for farming one account out of cards worth 0.10$ each, instead of using ASF, it's his own choice.

But it's nice to note that if he does that, then he violates SK2 license, because he must disclose source as ASF is statically linked with ILMerge, along with including original work based on.

I don't think it's asf, or at least it's very modified version of it - if I understand correctly - they provide web interface for it, you need re-work asf controls to attach it to web. Also, paying 8$ for something I got for free is ridiculous.

I'm more than sure that if he doesn't use ASF, he most certainly uses SK2, licensed under LGPL, therefore I suggest to ask the developer directly about that.

I see no reason to sue him for anything ASF-based, because I don't have a proof that he uses ASF, as @Ryzhehvost stated above - it would actually need some work to make ASF compatible with web interface, and I doubt that he's doing that.

And it's not my intention to restrict other developers from using/changing ASF, in both open-source and closed-source ways.

Nooooooo. They stole my idea! 😦
Wait... Their domain is registered earlier (August 2015). Damn 😞

No, seriously. Steam idler is just an idea. They have web interface, we have ASF. It is good (for us, not for them 😅)

from archisteamfarm.

Yep, and that registration date is actually enough to say that the guy started working on it before I wrote first line of ASF, so most likely he doesn't use ASF, or even part of it. No need to rant about it here then.

(Although he still violates SK2 license, if he uses SK2)
