First and foremost, IANAL. Fight the man! That's all I have to say. This is utter BS on the part of TTC and you should fight them. I've been using linux for years and I seem to have had Gnometris packaged with it for a while. Is there a reason why this game, a clone of tetris, has avoided being removed?
I think Al hit it on the head when he mentioned the fact there is a tetris game on the sidekick and chances are they are developing one for the G1. I'm sure it will be a paid app, so they are attempting to get rid of any competition, especially the free apps that offer similar gameplay. Perhaps it is TTC that should come up with something new and leave the little developers alone, otherwise... David will be coming for you, Goliath. ~clark On Apr 11, 12:23 pm, Edward Falk <[email protected]> wrote: > > I wrote those concerns to Google and I sent an email to the EFF.
