If you are a developer, professional or otherwise, you want your creations safe from being sold or copied by others. Recently I have seen and reported an infringement of another’s creations. The person(s) in question took an Aircraft from Alpha Sim and is including it in Scenery they created for sale! I have since reported this to Alpha Sim and they were very glad that there is someone looking out for there interest and the same goes for Captain Sim; both are investigating these thefts of intellectual material.
I am an Amateur developer and do not want my hard work to be claimed or sold by others, People who practice this are parasites and need to be dealt with.
This practice is more common than you would think It is up to all of us to keep this theft from happening to all who develop add on for Flight Simulators or any programs I never sell my creations and I post them for others to use but I will not tolerate others using my creations for sale or being included in a package for sale, I have since put my logo on certain objects in my scenery to prevent it from being used or copied.
Most developer who use auto installers put warning in their creations. I encourage others who value their creations to do the same.
Contrasting view are welcome.
