Seems completely unacceptable to modify GPL code without clearly stating who has done the modification and just leave the old information in place making it appear as it is the work of the original author. Using the zita moniker in the name of the program just serves to confuse the situation ever more. IIRC it's not the first time this person has indulged in similar behaviour either.. FWIW, I just want to let you know that I have been enjoying using your software and very much appreciate the work you have done for open source audio software, and that I totally understand your anger at such unacceptable behaviour. -- Joakim _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
