VX30 Ad-Stats Code Online

There is also a copy of the phpAdsNew source to compare. Drunkenbatman says 'This is a community problem, and it's pretty much up to you.'"

    Yup, we could call ourselves the Open Source Association of America. The OSAA would would be a cartel of orgs big (IBM, Redhat, Novell, etc) and small, and we could go about auditing businesses' code for GPL violations.

    When PHBs see our 733T audits-required letters, they'll _finally_ take Open Source seriously, because everyone knows you're not a serious player in this biz unless you send threatening letters by the dozen.

    The name of EVERY FUNCTION is completely different. All the ones in Maui software start with ADSTATS and in the so-called original, all the function names begin with PHPSTAT.

    How could this be copying code?

    And as for all the function bodies being exactly the same code, well, it's a miracle. I guess good programmers all format their code exactly the same, use the same comments, and even misspell the same comments. Uhm, I gotta go.
