So because people are inherently flawed, they're allowed to do whatever they want? And that Kraven has to let them do whatever they want with HIS software that he shares out of the goodness of his heart, simply because he is allowing the public to use his ROM with a few and totally reasonable rules? That's like saying that you can go into a restaurant and start messing up the whole place, simply because you say that "If he didn't want me to do that, he shouldn't have allowed me to come in, and he should have just cooked for his family or something." What you're proposing would be a detriment to the entire community, as to do this "privately", we would have to exclude some people, and than new members wouldn't learn the ropes. AND, if we did exclude you, people would say "Dude, learn to share, just post it on the forums, it doesn't hurt anybody!" You say, "You're such a great dev Kraven" as afterthought, simply to appease some people in this thread. IF you meant it, you'd respect the few rules he has more. Attitudes like this, "Oh, just let them do whatever they want with your work that you spent hours and hours on Kraven" are precisely why Kraven chose to pack up shop before he got to frustrated and lost it with one of you guys.
And to the rent money shot, No, they didn't steal thousands of dollars, but yes, they did steal money, both from Kraven and from the doners. The doners because they were trying to encourage further development, and thekraven because the link went to him. So now you're saying that stealing is ok, and that we should "Stop crying" and not frown on things when people try to take advantage of Kraven's hard work with a sleazy underhanded scheme to make money off of trusting and lied to innocents? If someone with that attitude became head of AC, you'd soon make XDA look like a day care center combined with Harvard.
