I think I've been pretty tolerant so far in not saying anything. I shall probably become somewhat less tolerant if this forum starts being used for support for that product.

Producing an original work to display Cumulus data, commercial or otherwise, is absolutely fine, of course, and doesn't require any consultation with me. And it helps to make Cumulus more popular. But I would have hoped that before someone started copying the Cumulus main screen and selling it, using the Cumulus name, they would have at least checked with me first. Perhaps the belief is that because Cumulus is free, they can do whatever they want. I disagree, and think that it is at the very least impolite; perhaps that's just me.

Hi Steve,

I think there is a bit of a misunderstanding going on here.

The Cumulus Console script is completly free!

Only the live gauges made by myself are not free and can be purchased to work with the console script that i have made.

So there is no way Iam selling the Cumulus main screen or any other parts of the original Cumulus software.

Regards,
Theo

There's no misunderstanding. Your web site makes it very clear that what you are selling is a package of the console and the gauges. But what you are or are not selling is largely irrelevant.

It's clear that you don't feel that you have behaved incorrectly in any way, and I have no desire to continue this discussion, so we'll leave it there.

Thread locked.
