VX30 Ad-Stats Code Online

tmk writes "Drunkenblog has done it again. After deconstructing Maui X-Stream has GPL Violations with reproducable proof, he put a copy of the VX30 Ad-Stats source online. There is also a copy of the phpAdsNew source to compare. Drunkenbatman says 'This is a community problem, and it's pretty much up to you.'"

Yup, we could call ourselves the Open Source Association of America. The OSAA would would be a cartel of orgs big (IBM, Redhat, Novell, etc) and small, and we could go about auditing businesses' code for GPL violations.

When PHBs see our 733T audits-required letters, they'll _finally_ take Open Source seriously, because everyone knows you're not a serious player in this biz unless you send threatening letters by the dozen.

They're SCOing themselves in the foot.

I'll add this to my lexicon. SCO has become an Action Verb !!

Pfss, and you call yourselves 1337.

I don't see it

[kmortelite]

The name of EVERY FUNCTION is completely different. All the ones in Maui software start with ADSTATS and in the so-called original, all the function names begin with PHPSTAT.

How could this be copying code?

And as for all the function bodies being exactly the same code, well, it's a miracle. I guess good programmers all format their code exactly the same, use the same comments, and even misspell the same comments. Uhm, I gotta go.

I personally prefer 733Ts to 1337, especially when it comes to auditing them. Well, depending on the holder of them, of course.
