Where's the source code?

solbu commented 2 years ago

The source code is needed. I, and many like me, would never install anything which has no source code provided. If there is no source code then the software is proprietary, not Free Software.

@NOVATechnocrat No source, No ChangeLog, No Author information, No Usage Info. What do you expect, us to reverse-engineer your binaries? What are you hiding in this binary? A spyware? That could hack my twitch account? etc? Hello?.?.?!?.?!!?

Oh you say its just a mini browser written in nodejs electron with chromium's v8 engine only made to open twitch.tv? Am I correct? Same story with your "DiscordElectron". I'm better off using my browser instead.

Oh i'm afraid that i'm gonna get sued because I extracted and striped your appimage just to remove debugging symbols.

I just wanted to contribute to your code, to make it smaller and more gnome-twitch like. Turns out I can't :(

IMPORTANT NOTE 1!!! LICENSE states that it is required to distribute the source code of the software you distributed. This is a violation. One of the core principles of the GPL is ensuring users have the freedom to modify and redistribute the software.

**IMPORTANT NOTE 2!!!* If someone discovers that software distributed under GPLv3 is not accompanied by the source code, they can potentially take legal action to enforce compliance. This could include contacting the distributor to request the source code, informing the Free Software Foundation (FSF), or even pursuing legal action if the violation persists.**

Failure to comply with the GPLv3 requirements could result in the termination of the licensee's rights to distribute the software altogether. This means they would lose the permission to distribute or modify the software under the terms of GPLv3 until compliance is rectified.

The GNU GPL is designed to protect the freedoms of users and promote a community-oriented approach to software development. Non-compliance undermines these principles and can lead to reputational damage within the free software community.

If a violation is discovered, the typical course of action involves notifying the violating party of the issue and requesting compliance. This often starts with a formal request for the source code. In some cases, this can be resolved amicably. However, persistent non-compliance may lead to more serious legal consequences.

All I'm trying to do is help. If the source isn't published, you'll face a miserable amount of legal challenges though I'm not going to be the one to report this serious license violation ( because all I'm trying to do is help you ). I'm not going to be the one to take legal action to enforce compliance, I some witnesses.

Are ya'll with my so far?
