Pirated App Sold On Mac App Store

iDuck writes "When Wolfire Games released their animal martial arts game, Lugaru HD, on the Mac App store, they could be forgiven for thinking they were seeing double. A counterfeit version of the software is currently available on the app store at a much lower price point under the name Lugaru. The best bit: as yet Apple have not responded to Wolfire's emails to rectify the situation. While the source to the game was GPLed, 'the license made it very clear that the authors retained all rights to the assets, characters, and everything else aside from the code itself.'"

    The real issue in this is how this will affect the public opinion on free software. It will not be good.

    The public won't notice. As usual.

    You should submit this info to the makers of Dan's Guardian so they can fix their software to handle all properly formed URLs.
