Stephen Kapp and Reapertech
I've been to a few interesting sessions in the last few days about infringements of copyright on free software. It reminds me of when Stephen Kapp and Reapertech ripped off my copyrighted code. Since I put that page up, several people have written to me saying he infringed copyright on other code too. I haven't checked it myself but it sounded plausible.
It's pretty sad. I guess as free software gets bigger there will be both more parasites more legal ruckus. I expect to see someone offer contingent-fee copyright suits in appropriate cases in the next few years.
