In the interest of transparency: http://portableapps.com/node/39435[^]. Added to the PortableApps Repository by AbstractSpoon in 2009 http://portableapps.com/node/20408[^].
While I don't have the details about how this entire thing took place, I hope this at least shows some transparanecy. I am not affiliated with PortableApps I do use the product so was wanting some further information as it sounded odd that it would even have to be "aired" in public like this.

Indeed.
Dealing with him was even weirder.
He felt that renaming and rebranding ToDoList was ethical under the Eclipse license (legal yes, ethical no).
But ultimately he found that he had taken a position that was untenable, so going public is his way of saving face instead of just admitting he got it badly wrong.

As you have released your code free they can redistribute it (bad idea IMO).
However, they cannot replace your name or re-brand without your consent, this is copyright infringement.
You have rights of copyright on your works and can set a legal case that you WILL win.
DO NOT accept the spiel and BS they are giving , it is not based on fact but an attempt to bully you into
accepting their T&Cs. DO NOT give up the licensing you have worked long and hard for.

A bit amateur-hour, that.
I've spent 2 hours trying to work out why things work great for 5 page views and then die a horrible death-by-timeout for every cache call.
Several hundred lines of extra logging calls and there it was: the connection pool was being exhausted because I wasn't using a using statement.
But of course the kicker is that the original error message telling me that it was a connection pool issue had been staring me in the face all that time

Oh, you're one of THOSE guys, eh? Had one at a previous job. Only, he wrote a massive website over 5+ years, so there were undisposed SQL connections everywhere. I eventually got it all fixed up by naming the connection strings and tracking down the locations that left the most unclosed connections. Took much longer than 2 hours!

You've had a long week, these things happen ... at least it didn't get out into the outside world, where 10.46 Million members might find out. Oh...
