BeSweet and GPL respect (or LGPL) and lack thereof.

Ugly.

I'm not sure a public forum is the best place to resolve something like this.

i never gave DSPguru (or anyone else for that matter) a seperate license for vStrip (which is GPL as well as the dll). i asked him to publish the source, he said no (for now). you asked me to publish the code, i said that BeSweet's code is closed, and i haven't decide about its' future. i also said i hope that this issue won't lead to a veto from your side, and it didn't.

nevertheless, i helped find his way around the code...exactly, you helped me and made the integration of vStrip into BeSweet a quick task.
whether or not not publishing his sources is breaking the GPL (i think it is) is a matter of interpretation, but that does not mean i hate him... why should you hate me in the first place ? i believe we had a very good cooperation :).
obviously, the only one from all the posters here that hates me is DA, as he wrote : Originally posted by DarkAvenger
It is not against his soft, it is against him.
and i already said that i won't react, and let the users judge for themselves.
in fact, judging by all the PMs i got since this whole thing started, my side is well understood.



now, here is the reply i got from the author of mp2enc.dll :D :
Hello,
Sure, no problem to use it for your application, if I have some spare time I
will update the headers and release the entire DLL under the LGPL license.

and that's another example of the way BeSweet contribute to the divx community :).

Ok sounds like this has been resolved<sigh>. Perhaps a mod can close the thread now?:D

ly, the only one from all the posters here that hates me is DA

I think I made it pretty clear, why I no more trust you.

" Brrr... This is, sadly, reminding me of the politics in the MP3 scene! "


mmm, I don't understand those two replies to my SVCD message.

What is the meaning of "WTF?" ?

Is Ookamis reply related to my SVCD message or in general to this thread ?


MaTTeR:
"What is this sudden push of toolame all about anyway? Are there really that many people encoding to SVCD? Perhaps I need to look into it."

My long praying the good features of SVCD/DSVCD was a reply to the question above by MaTTeR.
I just wanted to encourage him to continue good work on toolame/mp2.

me not "vetoing" means that vStrip is still under the license it has always been - the GPL...

[DarkAvenger]

If I understand maven correctly, he still insist that it is GPL with all consequences. But he is just too nice to make pressure while some just ignore it. So will play the bad cop, again. :devil: BTW, I would like to see vstrip LGPL, as well. But I guess you have your reasons.

[Ookami]

I meant the thread in general. And I don't want to post in this thread anymore, as it would be only more thread drifting.

Any update? Or is DG still happily violating licenses? (I didn't dl latest releases, so I dunno). Quite a shame, if it would be still like this...
