- False. There is no mention of the license for WebAPP in the footer of the page that was linked. Not a license nor a link to one is there. Did these "piratical spinoff sites" actually remove your copyright notices or change the license terms?
- The W3 validator did clear the site today when I went back. Kudos.
- I don't want to be your marketing statistic just for looking over the code. There's no reason I can't download the code and look over it other than that you want me to register first. Why in the world would I download it from SourceForge when your community repeatedly throughout the site says to only download it from web-app.net?
- The issue is that you're blaming all sorts of issues on "piratical spinoff sites" using pre-1.0 versions, yet your own site put out buggy, security-broken pre-1.0 versions. Is your unsubstantiated claim to have the most secure CMS supposed to mean something? If I put it up against Typo3, Movable Type, OpenCMS, and Mambo in an open cracking invitational will it really be the last to fall? Are people really pirates for releasing a branch of your open source code? If you released buggy pre-1.0 code and they copied it, are the bugs yours or theirs? If they copy or branch 1.0 will they not be "bug-riddled piratical spin-offs"? Are they a problem because they're pirates or because they're using the code you supplied the community and they just haven't upgraded yet? Should you be attacking them ad hominem or should you be suggesting that people stay up to date with the main branch?
- You don't just have issues. You have delusions. The last version had hundreds of bugs, but the new version fixes every single one of them? Is that realistic?
The attitude of your community as a whole, if the postings here on PerlMonks are indicative, frankly stinks.
You're writing open-source code you don't want anyone to redistribute. You judge for others when it's alright to give up their personal information for your use (without so much as a privacy policy I can see). You claim to be all-knowledgeable about CMSes, yet most of your posts here lack any type of HTML formatting. You make accusations against people that I've yet to see backed up, then you waffle on why getting the code from them is bad.
You can say whatever you want about how wonderful your code and your community are, but I've yet to be convinced and now I likely won't be.
