Welcome to our world. The minute the discussion deviates from "OMG your updater is wonderful" they turtle.

Well, I trust you're going to tell us what they did say before they went silent on you, right?

Also - who here is surprised?

Surprised at the gall they had to steal bandwidth...

Does that count?

So it seems we finally have a WoWMatrix response. It's largely BS, but it's a response.

I especially like the way they keep claiming that Curse and WoWI didn't want them hosting themselves, even though Curse and WoWI do not own and cannot grant distrobution rights in the first place.

While technically speaking we do reserve the right to transfer the license granted to us by the authors to distribute addons. We only have that in case of a buyout type occurrence. We have no intention of breaking the trust placed in us by the authors who upload to us by nitpicking a technicality.

I'm sure that Cairenn and the wowi team would feel the same way. (sorry if I'm speaking out of turn though.)

Heh, learn something new every day. I knew we gave you the right to distribute, I didn't know we gave you the right to transfer the license. I gotta start reading the fine print ;-). Does make sense though.

Thus the hornet's nest gets stirred up again...

Yeah it's nothing unforward at all, just that if we were bought by some large company the license could be transfered to them. Note that this isn't the same as us being able to share our license with someone else. I only posted it here in the interest of disclosure an openness. We've been trying to be very honest with people (despite some claims otherwise)

Why would you be surprised, when it now turns out you have completely lied about your past communications with WoWMatrix?

Not that I am surprised, coming from you Kael.

Frankly, had I been them and seen your posts on here, where you were clearly taking sides and being supportive of Curse/WoWI's assertions (which it is now turning out are based on questionable facts AT BEST), I would have concluded (properly) that you were not looking to present an unbiased look, and would have ignored you along with the others.
