He outed them on Twitter. The team at Technically Legal broke down the story and the take-home messages for using other people's images."

  1. Who cares, why are you promoting this story by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    This guy develops proprietary software for a proprietary platform. He doesn't care about freedom, he cares about control. We should pay him no heed that he whines about a wood grain texture (real original there buddy).

    He's whining people are integrating this texture in their proprietary iPhone apps being sold at the proprietary iPhone story by the notorious proprietary monolith, Apple.

    The story should be: Hoarder hoards, and then when gets hoarded by a hoarder, cries out in pain and tries to Hoard more.

    p.s. he's free to make non-free software just as I'm free to never ever use his software.
