November 22, 20232 yr Just now, carlanthony24 said: Well since this word not allowed went public it really messed things up for FBW if they wanted to legal. Like a lot are saying. FBW is not a company so different rules come into play. You seem to be not understanding what GPL is, and where the problem is. Any code written under GPL has to be made publicly available for anyone to change and use. You have to disclose that you are using GPL as well. Evidence points to iniBuilds not disclosing their use of code published under GPL. And THAT is a problem. It's not that they borrow code from FBW, it's that they are obligated to disclose that they are doing so.

But like people have said we don't even know all the facts yet. The person who wrote things when it should of been confidential has caused issues that well is not going to benefit him or FBW in the grand scheme of things. If FBW indeed wanted to go legal to be honest doubt that would of happened. The guy messed it all it up.
November 22, 20232 yr It's entertaining to see how the Dev in question wanted this drama to be judged by the court of public opinion, and the public opinion is that it should not have been brought public. That dev definitely has a lot of growing up to do. Take-offs are optional, landings are mandatory.The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire. To make a small fortune in aviation you must start with a large fortune.There's nothing less important than the runway behind you and the altitude above you. It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground.

All the time getting FORMAT ERROR message. Anybody knows how to do it? Edited November 23, 20232 yr by Vitold69

They have already said the released version is quite far back next one will be updated. They most likely have to send it off to Microsoft and wait for the updates to filter through who knows. You wouldn’t think it was a beta. Still perfectly flyable.

Funny enough, I am currently back at school to become an Air Safety Personnel, ATSEP in France, hopefully this job will save me a lot of time for simming and my PPL...Anyway... Today we had a course on "Cloud and legal issues", we are talking about the GPL license, so I ask a question about the MS/Ini and FBW case. I've been told this is very common because developers usually use a lot of online resources that could fall under licensing. They also said that MS was used to these kinds of problems and that a rewrite tool and a code analysis tool were available to deal with problems like these. Anyway, let's wait and see... hope this doesn't cause to much delay Edited November 23, 20232 yr by cyril972
