>Based on... what?

Okay. Let me make sure sure everything is crystal clear:

- I found the game online via a tweet.

- Viewed source and saw's Michael's contact information.

- Emailed him and asked him if I could do a for-pay rendition of it on iOS and that I'd split profits with him.

- He agreed.

- I built it with his oversight/input.

- He get's a 50% royalty on all sales.

- And now? Well, Michael and I get to deal with ADR clones that just wrap the original via PhoneGap.

- And what do the clone say when we try to report them to Apple? "hey! it's open source!"



Thanks. I was merely arguing that based on the article, we don't really get clarification on whether Townsend was being compensated. When I replied to your previous post I didn't realize you were the author of the port.
