App is sold in AppGallery

[Lijucay]

Hey Dev,

I am sorry for telling you but your app has been stolen by some unknown person and it is sold on AppGallery.

Hi @Lijukay,
Thank you for reporting this to me. I am currently investigating the matter.
Could you provide me with the link to the app page on the AppGallery?

[Lijucay]

Sure. Here is the link to the app in AppGallery:

https://appgallery.cloud.huawei.com/ag/n/app/C108358265?locale=en_US&source=appshare&subsource=C108358265&shareTo=com.android.bluetooth&shareFrom=appmarket&shareIds=11fbef4d7b084706b43a251538f63265_com.android.bluetooth&callType=SHARE

Seems that the link is region-restricted as I can only view an empty page with the message "No apps".

I checked the Apache license and found that it permits commercial use and redistribution (I am not a layer, correct me if I am wrong) 😞 There are really few things we can do.

In the next version of the app, I plan to include a notification that informs the user that they are using a free application. If you have any better suggestions, kindly inform me.

Hello there,

I am sorry to hear that.

I am affected myself and after a long discussion with some friends of mine, I decided to use another license. However, the notification is a very good idea. This way, the user is informed.

[deltazefiro]

A notification will pop up to notify the user that they are using a free and freedom application in v0.8.5a2.
The Apache license forbids the modifier from removing it. I hope this will work.

This guy is currently selling over 100 apps on AppGallery, probably stolen too!? I hate such outrageous people. You could complain to Huawei.

[Lijucay]

I did that. The license does, as previously mentioned, not forbid such things. However, I am thinking of uploading my app to the app gallery myself. Since it might result in a conflict (since there is already such an app), his version will probably get deleted since I can verify that I am the developer of my app. I am not sure if deltazefiro wants to do that as well, but his warning and idea of adding a notification should be enough.

I also saw PipePipe there, I can't believe he's dumping open source software that isn't its own

Is it still online? I can't check it, since for me, the results are empty

The last time I saw it was months ago, looks like it's been reported now. (satisfying)
