Potential EULA infringement #539

Closed PolarianDev closed 1 year ago

PolarianDev commented 1 year ago

Hello,

I have attempted to email the following to info@mingo.io however I got the following error:

[<info@mingo.io>](mailto:info@mingo.io): host mx1.websupport.sk[37.9.169.110] said: 554 5.7.1 Rejected
    by ESETS_SMFI (spam) (in reply to end of DATA command)

So here is the email I sent:

Subject: 
Distribution of mingo as a installation package
From: 
Polarian <polarian@polarian.dev>

Hello,

Today I have realised that I could have possibility broken the EULA on Mingo while discussing proprietary software with other AUR packagers.

As I have announced on github, I took over the mingo-bin AUR package, however I added built packages for mingo to my unofficial arch linux repository for easier installation by arch linux users.

This technically counts as redistribution, and thus breaking the EULA.

https://polarrepo.polarian.dev/ you can find mingo's prebuilt package there.

If you would like me to remove it, based on it breaking the EULA please shoot me an email and I will remove it from the repository. If you don't mind the redistribution under the terms of making it easier for arch linux users to install the software (I gain nothing from the redistribution, it only helps the mingo community on arch linux), then please let me know.

I am aware EULA is designed to prevent people stealing or attempting to profit or benefit from your software, as I am not benefiting I am unsure if you would care or not about my sole aim of trying to help out, instead of trying to benefit from mingos distributables.

Have a good day,

I would like to highlight the fact my email has both valid spf and dkim, along with valid RDNS, I do not see why I would be marked as spam, as I am not on any spam lists, and my IP address is not on any spam lists.

I assume that it is rejected all (or almost all) emails, if my emails are being rejected as I have passed every security mechanism.
