DVDx 2.0 released

GPL also says that anyone may redristribute the software under the same terms. Once someone downloads it, he/she may offer it for free or a fee on their own website. Asking for exclusive distribution contradicts that.
Anyway, we're covering old ground here - this is where the thread started (so maybe you should go back and read it all?)

Regarding these replies following my point, I think I have to clarify some statements:

1. The decision has been taken and labDV won't ask for any exclusive distribution of DVDx

2. Jean-Luc is not getting any money from DVDx

3. labDV has helped a lot and will continue to help DVDx distribution

4. Concerning DVDx, labDV provides to the VIP members:
- very fast FTP server to download every release of DVDx
- the DVDx download reference (no virus etc)
- exclusive support from Jean-Luc, Dragongodz, etc from the official forum
- provide official DVDx website, with homepage and FAQ
5. VIP membership isn't a way to make DVDx a shareware (VIP get a valuable service not just DVDx)

6. labDV has no financial issue

So, are you saying that asking Doom9 to remove the download was an error in judgement and that, in the future, neither he nor anyone else will be asked to delay distribution?

[Jim@labDV.com]

Wasn't an error in judgment, it was just to let know my point after being bothered many times every day by websites just willing to take advantage of DVDx without helping its development...

Every day I'm asked to sign to distribute DVDx in boxes for $$$ and also I receive many complaints from people who've bought DVD Backup or DVD Copy or DVD whatever for $39 which just include an old DVDx 1.6 or 1.8...

I'm fed up with all these people taking advantage or making un-deserved money around us and also with website taking advantage of DVDx without talking about labDV or JLP and the team.

In labDV we maintain a list of 100+ software with fast download and everyone of them is linked to its homepage so we don't try to hide anything to people. I'd like anyone behave like this when I'm concerned, otherwise I let know my point :sly:

But you're right: nobody will be asked to delay distribution.

That's good to know. And, yes, we are aware of the DVD Back and Copy issue, the thread http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24056 is about that. You have my support on that issue, that's just theft.
