I highly doubt you had spent that much time on your "professional land surveying software on a daily basis. nueUSB wasn't the only piece of software I coded. The fact that I didn't charge for it only makes it more offensive: the only reason NFSFAN bothered to edit strings was to take the credit for himself, not to get some kind of restricted functionality.
And it is a SERIOUS problem. If every time I release something that I spent a long time to work on, and it is stolen with someone elses name on it, what reason do I have to continue releasing my stuff.
According to your suggestion, I should just charge for my software, because apparently it is the only method I would have to protect my software.
And yes, we do want a "professional" site, not a site full of warez addicts. This is why these policies must be enforced.

i know this is serious. i was so pissed about my software i wanted to pinch his head off when i found out.
don't misunderstand what i'm saying here. as a programmer myself (well, in the olden days before "C" was the language of choice), i know what goes into writing code. it just bothers me the direction this site is heading. perhaps some of you upper guys should split off into another site that is only for writing roms and code and leave this one to the people like me that just want to learn about ppcs and how to customize them and make them better.
and as an ending FYI, if i had not already switched to WDM's rom from NFSFAN, i would have stopped using it anyway because of this.
