My issue with this is NOT with the fact that ALB42 wants to boycott Coffin. In fact, I quite agree with his assessment on the illegality of the Coffin operating system and I refuse to use it. I take exception to the fact that it blocks ALL Vampire users from using his software despite the operating system being used. If you want to boycott Coffin, just block it from running on that OS, not ALL OS's. Just because I buy a Vampire does NOT mean I support their promotion of Coffin, I buy it because I enjoy using the hardware.

Even so sean_sk...

ALB42 has taken a moral stance and does not want his software run on anything associated with the Vampire team; be it hardware or an illegal OS.

That's his choice as the author of MUIMapparium; end of story and nothing more to be discussed here

Now, back on topic please all...

Ah, okay!

I tried to protest against Coffin already long time before... so now that is my new way to protest... against use of my work in such illegal distribution, seems the only way possible, sadly

Sorry.

No worries! I'll try it one my '040 then

Take care!

A protest hurting no one is meaningless (e.g. strike in public transport vs. shool strike)

Of course I wish some more coders would do the same... pressuring the Vampire team on stop using/selling/promoting Coffin and condemn it (increasing pressure from the user)
Most likely that will not happen, but I feel better about it.

And to be honest nobody will miss my "worthless software" (original citation from an email)

Ok situation seem to have changed

thanks

There will be no further discussion about this not working with vampire.. End of... Anyone who doesn't agree with me, and pushed the envelope will receive a warning and then a ban.
