So I expect some action to be taken over this, unless you can point me to the post / thread / location of the source.

I would not consider a formal complaint a whinge, unless you feel that the rules laid out by GPL are to go to waste.

Honestly. I pointed this out in a topic already, and that topic was the on that was a "overreaction", and led to a flamefest.

I try to explain my position, and it only caused trouble. I try to protect legality, and it only causes trouble. I'd advise you to not bring it up again.... (as sad as it is), at least not here.

It seems to do no good to point out legality issues to people that do not want to listen. I would encourage you to file a formal complaint with the PCSX team if you can contact them though.

This emulator, written by Yoshihiro is a port pf PCSX [ http://www.pcsx.net ] which is maintained under the GPL license.

This means the 'author' of any port or derivative of this program must release it's source and acknowledge the original authors of the project.

Neither is satisified, thus this emulator is breaking the GPL license, and I expect the admins / mods of these forums to remove all links and related topics, until the author releases it's source.

A plain as day example from EBOOT.PBP

etc etc etc etc etc...the plain as day stuff continues.

I am pretty sure Yoshihiro will release the source asap and, dude, no need to go over here and over there and worry people about themes like this. Just contact Yoshihiro, no need to make a public "fuss".

p.s: no offence.

It appears on these forums I am unable to send a Private Message to Yoshihiro. Perhaps someone could point me to another way of contacting him.

As an ongoing member of PCSX / PCSX2, I am formally complaining about this emulator, and will expect something done about it via the admins of this forum.

The GPL allows for developers to release their work to the public, for such ports to occur, but it strictly defines that the source for any work based on such a project to be open.

If it was not for PCSX's open source nature and the GPL license, you would not have this port, or the same level of emulation available to you.

Thus I would not expect the people on these forums to be so flippent about such a situation, it is because of such actions many emulation projects are going closed source, as the development community are sick and tired of glory hunters that give no credit to the people behind the emulator.

I am making a 'public' statement about this, because it is something people should be immediately aware of.

I would note that site such as emulation64 have already responded to the complaint and removed this 'port'.

Yoshihiro should of released the source at the same time as he released this port, no ASAP about it, the instant it become public with no source you are breaking the GPL and the very reasons for it's existance. The GPL allows an open source community to thrive, ignore it, expect the growing trend of closed source projects to continue.

I appreciate your effort. If this site decides that certain people are above criticism, it then is not much better than those other sites which are pretty much nothing but flames and "first posters".

My opinion on this whole mess, is that the moment this emulator was announced and over-hyped to it's lackluster release yesterday was an affront to the homebrew community. Sony comes out ahead on this one.
