Open-source software is an essential part of Android community | Fluid |

Open-source software is an essential part of Android community. It usually brings benefit to everyone as different people all over the world work together to create something new. But sometimes things go wrong.

Imagine you put in your hard work and free time to provide something good and quite well received, working for free to give something nice to the community.

Suddenly, a person sees what you are doing and likes it. He even likes it so much that he decides to apply the same design in his own ROM so more people can enjoy what you are doing. Completely fine, that is what open source is about.
Well, if that would be the end of the story, yes. But then that person goes ahead and sells your work behind a paywall to let his users pay for your (supposedly) free stuff without even crediting until someone reminds them to? To add to that, the changes mentioned on the paywall site have no mention of the original authors. Do you still think that's fine? I doubt that.

We have nothing against cherry-picking and providing work, but selling something, authored by a different person which is supposed to be free for all, WITHOUT contributing anything to it and being adamant about it, is bad and unethical.
What a shame.
