Alexey escribió:I am Wierzbowsky, the coordinator of the RBSC group, the creator of Carnivore2 hardware. Carmeloco, you are planning to sell UNAUTHORIZED Carnivore2 cartridges and DIY kits and you are in violation of our license agreement that clearly states:
The RBSC provides all the files and information for free, without any liability (see the disclaimer.txt file). The provided information, software or hardware must not be used for commercial purposes unless permitted by the RBSC. Producing a small amount of bare boards for personal projects and selling the rest of the batch is allowed without the permission of RBSC.
The only authorized entity that can produce our hardware at the moment is 8bits4ever shop (
http://www.8bits4ever.com/). They contacted us and made an agreement about Carnivore2 production. I have no idea why you decided to make money on our hardware without asking our permission. This is unprofessional. I cant stop you, but I would like to announce, that our group will not support any unauthorized Carnivore2 cartridges.
OK. I misunderstood the agreement. I think that I can make a small quantity of boards. I dont want to make any business with this. I want 2 boards for me, and I maked the rest for the guys of the spanish forums. This guys, dont knows to mount SMD boards, and they asked me if I can mount the boards for them. The price, includes the the materials of the board, the shipment to spain, and a little prize for mount the board. I mount the boards manually, and I take a entire day for mount one board. This is not a work for me. This is an entertainment for me, and a way to get this fantastic project to more people. When I started this, there was no distributor, and some people without the knowledge of mount SMD boards, couldnt enjoy the project. Now, I buyed all the materials, and I need to sell the boards for recover the investment.
If I broken the agreement, I apologize for it. It was not my intention.
At all times I wanted to collaborate in everything that was within my reach, as betatester, notifying mounting problems, as the problem with the flash chip that was not correctly described in the partslist, and now Im testing the board in many computers, and I see that dont works well on a Philips VG-8020, and with Aleste game I dont hear the FMPAC music in a NMS-8245.
What is the way to correct the problem with the agreement?
