[Request] Add AltDrag to the Microsoft Store #143

Tjena Stefan!

I just saw that SMPlayer was added to the Microsoft Store, and that got me thinking what other great programs could use some Microsoft Store love. Could you add AltDrag to the Store?

There already seems to be an unofficial variant of some sort, called AltDragging. It costs money though, and if anything I'd rather give that money to you.

Tjena! Thanks for letting me know.

Looks like this is the one: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/altdragging/9ppcdg4l9xf4

I don't have access to a Windows computer at the moment so I can't test it right now, but it does look like it is derived from the AltDrag source code. And it looks like it is a modified version, which means this person would need to provide the modified source code somewhere. There is no information about that on the store page.

I found this, but I doubt it has all the modifications: https://github.com/strayge/altdrag

I don't think charging money for derivatives is forbidden by the GPL, but I should probably counteract that by providing a free version of the vanilla AltDrag on the store.

I finally took a look at AltDragging and it does look like an original program. It's just confusing with the name and all the references to AltDrag in the product description. There's obviously a lot of inspiration from AltDrag, but I don't think there's a GPL violation. So false alarm there.

But I get your point about submitting it to the store. I'll take it under consideration. Thanks!
