Copyright violation

[Poussinou]

Hi @SecUSo

I found this app and also this one on the Google Play Store. This guy just took your source code, added some ads in it or made it payable and put it on the Store, without warning this is free software...

As you are the owner of the source code, feel free to open a request to google here to remove the false app from the Store, if it's your wish ;)

Don't forget to tell Google that:

• The app is licensed under GNU GPL v3 license and this guy is violating it;
• He is falsely claiming he made the app.

Here is another one.

and another one here.

@Poussinou, @petermayer, com.oggames.sudoku remains from this selection, the others are gone.

FAST (Federation Against Software Theft) may be able to assist here but I would put more hope in EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation)

I have flagged com.oggames.sudoku with the comment

This is a copyright violation of https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.secuso.privacyfriendlysudoku which is licensed under GPL v3, it is not Public Domain.

The author is using Google's name & authorization under false pretences.

I hope this is ok

This looks like an older version of Sudoko PFA. The creator account seems no more, but app is available at the time of writing.
