So...great...he copied our data and used it on his page...
violation of Creative Commons license. He gets a friendly letter now. (If people would ask permission I wouldn't have a problem, but I'm sick of people stealing stuff.)

Yes, it’s my fault.

seems familiar indeed. -_-'
couldn't he just link to the thread we have at this place, giving credit to whomever deserves it? (dosbox creators, people who got the problem solved, etc)
geez.

btw, what is this Creative Commons license you're talking about, Snover?
i've never heard of such a license before...

He's lucky I'm excrutiatingly lazy 😉
Well, maybe not lucky, koz it's not like I'm gonna do anything anyway. Maybe the NoDerivs portion of the license is too restrictive...I'm not sure. Tra la la... I just can't be a jerk and send a message asking him to stop, I'm too nice 😒

Yes, it’s my fault.
