Re: Closed Source Project
I'm the author of the project. I can't believe you closed the project without any notice. The wiki page is linked from my software and you are causing a big problem to about 140.000 users. I'm getting several hundreds of emails because of this. The fact that not having a Source tab is intentional doesn't mean it's not an open source project. It's been open source for two years and it IS open source. I answered you that you could ask me if you needed the source code at the moment. The code of the last version is not yet ready to be published, and it will probably take some time. And I would like to make it public in my own site. I only opened the project for wiki and issue tracking. But again, the project IS open source (and has been for about two years). So PLEASE, open my project again as soon as possible. I hope that I didn't loose everything. Or at least open it for one week so that my users (regular people who are in trouble because of your unnotified action) don't pay for it, my goodness. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Project Hosting on Google Code group.

Re: Closed Source Project
It's OK to use a Google Code project for just issue tracking and wiki for an open source project that is hosted elsewhere. However, a binary-only project does not qualify as Open Source. No where on the site linked to from the project page is there any documentation on how to get the source code for the project. Furthermore, the original reporter filed an issue asking for the source code, and you did not provide it. If you fix the issue by providing the source code somewhere with clear documentation on how to get it, and respond to this thread saying you have done so, then I will unban you and your project. Until then, this project is a clear violation of our terms of service, and we take those violations very seriously.

Re: Closed Source Project
I've unbanned the project and owner after receiving an out-of-band message linking to the source code here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/files/browse/206798/file/resources/youtube-tm-ratings-preview/data/LICENSE.txt#top To the project owner; please update your project page to link to the source code directly, so that the status of the project being open source is not questioned again in the future.

Re: Open Source Project uses Third Party API
You can use Google Project Hosting so long as your source code is open source. It is OK if it depends on other software that is not open source. In fact, a lot of OSS in the world depends on non-OSS (and a lot of non-OSS depends on OSS). Good luck with your project! Thanks, jason!

Re: Closed source project exploiting Google Code services
You're welcome to distribute your product for no charge to the world -- there's nothing wrong with that. But it's not the same as open source. If the code isn't open sourced and available to the public, then you may not use Google Code (or Sourceforge) for your hosting.

Really MediaCoder is great, and you can choose any license you prefer, I have nothing to say to that but respect it as it is your work. Just have to be remember that you cannot host it on Open Source sites. I would recommend you to open your source code which will benefit all the community and also will benefit the project with other developers improvements and bugfixes.
