ok i wont mention this ever again but i tell you it dents open source and goes against it all what i thought xbmc stood for.
also i agree all i did was change everything that was asked in forums and i couldnt release patchs cause a it isnt open and had to open it and b because although they asked it wasnt really alowed to support people. so i released it as skin for all those that asked and he said dont mention him so i didnt then people say i passed it as mine yeah right read the read me in about 10 places it says its not mine anyway enough is enough its silly
my point is this. i dont beleive its open source and its stollen from someone else anyway (dont care but though dev did) and never heard it mentioned.
i just ment that if someone makes changes to something someone else has made. it's possible that it's not for the better and that it could be a bad thing for the original author.
