But, in issue 141 you said that ,"no"

playstore

This project is very popular and also a powerfull tool for screen streaming purpose.

So , many developers want to modify and publish in playstore.

I want to add sound and touch feature to this app.

I heard this because I want to modify this app and publish on playstore with ads with including your MIT licence.

Can I have a permission for this ?

Can you give a detailed explanation about publishing ?

Well, all current code as of today is under MIT license. From legal point of view, there are no restrictions for anyone to do with this code whatever he/she wants (including creating app, publishing it, and making money). Me personally doesn't like this as the initial idea is to give people free (including add-free) app with open sources so users be sure that there's data is not send to someone else. It's ok when you use this project code in any your project, but I prefer such project to be nonprofit, with open sources, and keep reference to original ScreenStream project as a way of some respect of my (and other contributors) work and time.
