Pete, (Eagle),

All my work is 100% my own and not copied nor a modified form of any others and only takes advantage of open doors in others software that people freely leave open.
(as others have done so.. RP Labs/Pectel/Collins etc)

I have NEVER sold anything that remotely contains anything copied from other peoples work as I have no need to do so with my extensive knowledge and experience and no one can deny that despite my business track record.

Therfore, if you "think" I am breaching site rules and feel the need to ban me then there are many on here trading and talking about these products (chips etc) which is far far worse than any perceived thing you "think" I am doing and they would breach any site rules here on PF way before I ever would in these circumstances and I dont see you handing out warnings or quoting rules to these people.
(E.G. Such a Iphone jailbreaking, traders selling cossie chips etc..)

People selling chips for cossies are selling copied and/or modified versions of other peoples work.
A bit like copying a CD changing the cover colour and rebadging it as your own work..LOL

Yes I got confused about the GNU terminology which I admited too very early on but I was manouvered in to this position when others realised the potential of my abilities.
When I realised my mistake, I changed this to FREEWARE which gives total unrestricted personal use without the need for reward or the need to posess the source code building blocks !

Now, when I realised I actually found a loop hole in MSD's chips, I didnt take adavantage of this and in fact as I said, I informed Stu about it so he could take steps to resolved the flaw in his encryption after this, I said that I would not allow my program to take advantage of that as a sign of good will and still have not to this day.
If I was doing this as a way to make money, I could have made a fair bit as I had many offers to take over the software from other tuners but refused them.

There are those out there who will take advantage of it either for profit or maliciously and I wont allow either as it is my hard work and no one elses.

There is absolutely no need for me to give the source code away in order for this software to be truly free to use as a standlone entity.
It doesnt require any comitment, payment, registration or have time restrictions or any form of advertising.

Surely, once the software was completed and if I asked for payment or reward then surely you or any other of the admin on here would take action imediately so why is it such an issue as I know you are looking for any excuse to push the ban button !

I wanted the software to be a community design project for Ford cars on a Ford site and standby that if/when I am ever allowed to use PF to discuss and develop it, I will never ask for any reward nor will I allow any feature for bypassing encryption to be used but the source code will always remain in my control to protect my hard work and stop others taking advantage.

Sorry for the biblical explanation and repetition of information but I feel its needed as to me this whole bias agaisnt me is little more than personal grudges or self preservation other than the fact I "could" make a few quid that xxxx didnt get a cut of !

Now in summary, if this 100% free original written software is free for anyone to dowload and use without reward or restriction and I stick to that, whats the "real" problem in doing it here in the open ? ..... !!!
