On the subject of teamwin what happened? There's no proof they did anything wrong. I say wait till there API comes out,have orrebmas look at it. Maybe he can tell if they stole anything. I doubt it tho.
I don't think they actually stole anything from Sam as much as they ran him out of town.
It's like this. Imagine that Cyanogen and his friends had a garden with a stand next to it that said "Fresh produce, pay whatever you feel like". Some people would come to the stand and ask "Can I pay nothing?" to which Cyanogen and TeamWin would reply "Sure." Others would come and give money in exchange for the free produce.
Then one day someone named Orrebmas tilled a garden nearby and planted seeds that would soon bear a magical fruit. It was a fruit that Cyanogen and his friends had been trying to get their hands on, but didn't have. Orrebmas put up a sign that said "Free Magical Fruit coming soon!" In anticipation of the fruit, several people walked up to the cart and gave him money asking to be notified when the fruit was ripe. To which he agreed.
TeamWin walked over to his garden and asked for some of his seeds so that they could grow the fruit and have it in their stand too. His reply was "I worked very hard to get these seeds, and I don't think I will give you the seeds just yet, but I will gladly share the fruit as soon as it is ripe. It will be free for everyone, including you, and you only pay if you feel like it."
TeamWin wasn't happy with this, so they called the city and said that Orrebmas was violating zoning. The city asked him to move his garden which he did, but kept the stand open. When some of the fruit was ripe, he gave it to a few of the people that had pledged donations to him. Once it's all ripe, he will open the stand and give it to anyone who wants it, with a cup that says donations are appreciated.
The bottom line is anyone who is an open source developer, and tries to pretend that they don't want to get paid for what they are doing is lying. If everyone was doing this just "for fun", and didn't expect ANYTHING in return, then take down your donate buttons, eliminate all the ways to give money to you, and truly distribute it without holding your hand out. But as long as you have your donate button up, then you live in a glass house, and shouldn't throw rocks at someone else trying to make a buck.
