"Look and Feel" is one thing, and I have no problem with that at all, but
the guy stole the code from Skyline!
Now, if you uphold that I'm wrong for believing that C-NET's ripping the
CODED guts out of Skyline to shove in its own belly is wrong, then you have
a serious problem mister! And you shouldn't mind if I take all of your
hard-worked code from your programs and claim them as features of my
software, without writing the code myself. Skypix(!!!) IS and always has
been, a copyrighted CODE.
C-NET did NOT make an emulator of the Skypix, they did not seek permission
to use the CODE from the author, they just ripped into the code and stole
it! Got IT?!! The same applies to the Skyline ARexx commands that Michael
created. The Amiga C-NET author didn't make an emulation of the commands,
he stole the CODE from that also!
The author doesn't have a problem of someone emulating Skypix, but he has
the right to denounce CODE theft. And THAT is what this whole bag of beans
was about!
So, take your high and mighty attitude and shelve it for awhile, because
you made the mistake of dumping on the wrong topic.
You "may" have noticed that I have CAPS on the word CODE, to draw your
attention to the fact that I am talking about CODE, NOT ideas.
Geez, what a bear!
