you’re not a super genius, please don’t try to come off as one. if i was out to take you seriously i wouldn’y have called myself “Dr Finger Fun” would i…??

and sometimes CAPS are fucking CAPS, its not always meant to be “shouting”. You should learn to differentiate that based on context instead of just automatically jumping to how the ‘rules’ were once set in all that old school IRC bullshit….what are you like 50 or something? damn…get a life

@Dr. Finger Fun (I’m just guessing you’re not really a Dr.)
Err… I haven’t ‘ASSUMED’ anything (why the shouting?) – I said ‘If it’s been created incorporating . . . . .etc’ – did you get that? – ‘if’. Please learn to read. Even if it hasn’t been created using anyone else’s freeware, it’s still being sold no matter how you cut it, not given away as is implied by the word ‘donation’. Christ, why am I even trying to explain to someone who can’t understand basic concepts? Oh well.

There are surprisingly some decent opinions on this topic, especially for psp-hacks lol, i only usually come here to lol at the flames.

Finger fun that’s classic, prolly old as shit, but i’ve never heard that before lol.

B1 def has a point tho, and once someone starts “selling” their reverse engineered product, they’re open to lawsuits left right and centre, but does “donating” constitute as a “sale”? I def think it does.

please dont bring altruism into this. just because dago wants a dollar, does not set him completely apart from where the other developers are coming from on here. designing homebrew apps is a way of getting your name out there as a programmer. it’s free advertising and a way of gaining a foothold in a business that doesnt have too many open doors. if dago ever made a mistake it may have been this donation thing, because all it did was leave him open to personal attacks from just about anyone, including those with grudges who could use this as an opportunity to tar and feather his rep.

now, im not saying EVERYONE on here isnt just doing what they do out of an altruistic interest. if any of the developers come across as purely altruistic it may be Art and Zx-81, but for all I know they could be hoping to build up careers out of this too.

whether you are asking for a dollar, or hoping to get your name out to build up your resume as a developer, it’s not altruistic.

If a donation is ‘required’ to receive something, then it’s not a donation, it’s a payment. It doesn’t matter for how much or little, this piece of ware is being sold. If it’s been created incorporating software written by others for exclusively free distribution, then it’s at the very least morally wrong, which is presumably why word-games like ‘required donation’ are being used rather than ‘payment’. Does this mean that all Mac users are salesmen? Seriously though, it’s not the first time someone’s decided to go for some bux off the back of the PSP hack community (anyone remember a certain buggy custom firmware being sold via ‘required donation’ around a year ago)? It always leaves a sour taste in the mouth – not because it’s being sold, but because the seller is assuming that the rest of the community are totally ignorant of what constitutes a sale.
