GPL Kerfuffle Takes Xbian For Raspberry Pi Offline

Posted by timothy on from the oh-you-mean-that-was-a-license dept.

tetrahedrassface writes "Rasbmc developer Sam Nazarko is reporting that Xbian had violated the GPL and stolen his installer code without providing attribution and not releasing their source. His breakdown of events is interesting, and currently the Xbian project has been taken offline with several tweets saying Xbian development is terminated."

    You can't fool us. This story is a giant troll to get your ridiculous username in front of as many people as possible.

    I don't see why Kerfuffle shouldn't be used in the post title. It's a perfectly cromulent word.

    It hasn't "been taken offline". It's simply slashdotted :-)
