[Scummvm-devel] escummvm / unofficial port to Ericsson P800

[Max Horn]

Hi there,

we have been made aware that you are distributing an unofficial port of 
ScummVM for the Sony Ericsson P800. While we are happy about every port 
that's around there, you are currently in violation of the GPL. 
Specifically, you are not providing any instructions on how to obtain 
the source code, nor do you mention that that ScummVM, and thus also 
EScummVM, is covered by the GPL.  I am sure that this is just an 
oversight, and no bad intent on your part. I'd appreciate if you can 
fix that as soon as possible.

In particular, if you didn't make any modifications to ScummVM to get 
it to work on the P800, a link to our regular source files is 
sufficient. If you did have to make modifications to the ScummVM source 
code, you are obliged to publish them, either as a patch against the 
regular ScummVM source distribution, or as a full tar ball.

Also, I believe it would only be fair if you added a link to the 
ScummVM project to your web page (e.g. add a sentence like "This is 
based on ScummVM, http://www.scummvm.org"). Of course in exchange we'd 
link back to you.


We'd be happy to cooperate with your, e.g. at the very least by adding 
a link to your porting effort to our links page. And if possible, we'd 
love to work with you on making your port "official" by merging your 
modifications into CVS (of course full credit for the port etc. would 
clearly be given to you).


Cheers,

Max
