Copyright violation

[Poussinou]

Hi @phhusson

I found this app on the Google Play Store. This guys just took your source code, added some ads in it and put it on the Store...

As you are the owner of the source code, feel free to open a request to google here to remove this 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;
• They are falsely claiming they made the app;
• Provide a link to this repo in the request, some screenshots of your original app...

Hello,

Thanks for that report. Even though I think this application shouldn't exist, I'm not too sure I'm in the full right to ask for a take-down.

First, I'm asking for GPL sources. I'll see what to do after that. If the developer doesn't comply, it should be "easy"

You think the fake app is based on the old source code from @koush ?

Can you recognize if this is based on your source code or the one from Koush? (Maybe you made some UI changes, or added some new features?)

@phhusson Any news about this? Did you reported the fake app? :)

@TacoTheDank Not exactly, though he is indeed cashing in on other developers' trademarks.

You can report this app to Google Play at the bottom of the page, thanks for the link :)

@phhusson If you have some time to fill the DMCA takedown request...
