verdyp has apparently not been in on the discussions. So verdyp, I would certainly be interested to know what your position is within Limewire, so please let us know, so I can stop guessing |
I have no official position in LimeWire. I don't live in New York to work everyday in coordination with the LimeWire team, and I have not contracted any thing with Limewire that requires me to support the project, or to work on it in due time.
I'm a supporter yes, and I have, as a contributor, supported the translation project. I can't do all what the LimeWire team can do, and I don't know all the business strategy and or the details of what LimeWire has in its projects.
LimeWire does not even know precisely how to contact me. I'm just there often enough and since long enough to contribute usefully for helping the translation project that I initiated (and in the past to help as well on its development) and that LimeWire accepted to integrate as an additional service for its international users.
But I don't even own any copyright or ownership on that project, which remains under full control and supervision by the official and contractual LimeWire working crew.
If anything goes in a way that I don't like, I am free to leave that project at any time, without asking for permission to LimeWire, and even without having to notice them (although I would state my new position to them, for politeness, so that they can organize themselves about what to do once I'm no longer there).
If I die tonight, nobody in my neighborhood will even send a notice to them.
In clear terms: I am not affiliated with Limewire.
The only contract I have with LimeWire is the GPL licence regarding the use of the source code on limewire.org (the same contrat that also links every LimeWire open-sourcer), and the software usage licence (the same licence as you) and the positions regarding the use of my personal account and password on their server, both of which can be removed by Limewire at any time without prior conditions. All what I can do can be traced by LimeWire in their history, and can be rolled back.
