the game content is propriety of the autors, I repeat...
you're missing the point.
what about the game engine and tools I've spent years and lots of money working on?
you're selling commercial game clones on Android and other markets, why in the world would I give the source to my games and tools to one of my competitors?
Curious the fact we are talking in a open hand held community about this rule
you are confused, your argument is completely fallacious and has nothing to do with open source.
open hardware != open source.
open hand held in this case means its not locked down with DRM and no need to jailbreak and programing docs are available and you can run whatever software you want, the software/firmware however on
OpenPandora is NOT 100% OPEN SOURCE.
don't use OpenPandora's open hardware as an argument, its unrelated to open source.
Open-source vs. closed-source debate aside, you appear to be asking people to trust blindly. Why should they do that?
exactly
he's got his own little commercial interest in inspecting other people's code, he sell his own games.
he doesn't just want the game's source code but the game asset
tools source code too.
tools he could use secretly to make more commercial games, saving him years of work, without ever being possible to prove he stole the game tools as they are not distributed with the final product.
he's not giving any reason to trust with the source and he clearly has conflicts of interest.
and he's using non sequitur logic and FOSS popularity politics trying to bring in the FOSS fanboyism to distract and steer away from the raised issue and drown it.
