I answer to Doom9. He has all the data he needs to determine if I have done anything untoward. I'm still a moderator, so I suppose he doesn't agree with you.
I apologized several times for my mistake in confusing binary/source distribution. Can't you let it go? Last edited by Guest; 6th September 2010 at 03:26. |

@neuron2
Does that mean all edits and deleted posts on every thread can be examined by the admin? Is there a time limit the information is kept?

I don't blame you for that confusion. Everyone makes mistakes. From the beginning, that's never been the problem I had. The problem is that you are using moderator powers to further your own personal interests and opinions. Apologize for that, and promise to never again use your moderator powers in a thread where you have any personal interest, and I will accept.

@stax76
You'll have to ask Doom9/Swede about what the admins can see. As a simple mod, I can see my deletion and edit histories so I would assume they can as well. Posts and threads can be soft or hard deleted. We are instructed to do only soft deletes although some obvious spam from new posters is sometimes hard deleted (e.g., wow gold spam). I do not know if the admins can see a trail of hard deletes. I do not know how long Swede maintains logs, but these recent threads certainly still have visible logs. Finally, what may look like a hard delete to a normal user may actually be a soft one, and it may also have a copy in the Thread Moderation forum that is not visible to normal users.

As I explained elsewhere, the licensing issue was actually started by BetaBoy, with whom you have a commercial relationship. My mistake was only being uninformed on the source/binary distinction. Last edited by Guest; 6th September 2010 at 00:32. |

1. You have a personal interest in DGAVCDecNV and related tools. 2. Therefore, you have a personal interest in a thread about DGAVCDecNV. 3. You used your moderator powers to ban me for posting in that thread. Therefore, you used your moderator powers in a thread where you had a personal interest. QED Accept that you made a mistake, apologize for it, and promise not to do it again. Find another moderator to handle threads where you have a personal interest. This isn't that difficult and isn't the end of the world. But until you do, I, along with an increasing number of Doom9 community members, will be elsewhere.

I have already addressed the points of your argument, and I have already placed everything in Doom9's hands. I have no reason to apologize for anything beyond the mistake I have already acknowledged, and I have no intention of doing so.
Can you please take this issue to PM with Doom9, or do you think that you have special privilege to violate multiple forum rules? |

So back on topic...
I have reviewed the MPEGLA license and don't see any clauses about distributions prior to the signing of the agreement. Regarding diavc.ax used in DGAVCDecDI, I no longer include it in the zip, users have to request it by mail. This allows me to count the number of distributions. I couldn't have done that if it was included in the freely downloadable DGAVCDecDI. |

It is also a community and a good leader would never act and speak as you did. That is one of the reasons I never liked you. I permit myself to be oot too because it's your last megalomaniac post. Good way though. |

Well, now I feel like "confessing" that I have always admired Gabest, Alexander Noe, akupenguin, and Dark Shikari. As for the developers that I do not admire... well, I think everybody already knows who they are.

this is getting OT and personal. now, the involved ppl already stated their final position. so please stop adding OT comments.
frankly speaking ppl interested in how licensing works doesnt care of those things. those are admins problems and should be fixed by them. ofcourse, if you want to discuss that you're free to do it elsewhere but not on this thread. Thanks. back on topic. does the MPEG-LA talks about distribution of software without specifying if it does work or not? i mean, can a patented software that requires a key or something to work be distributed? coz if that's the case, you can exactly know how many working copies are being distributed...

and... if the binary file is encrypted?
i mean, if i distribute a zipped file that contains a software but the zip is encrypted and requires a password to extract the file. technically that "binary" is not executable unless you give the user a password do decrypt it (im talking about unique passwords for each zip archive)
