Comment: Simple Mobile Tools - Problematic new owner

[lintux]

Hi @stephanritscher ,

looking at the latest development it seems like staying disconnected from the original SMT project or joing here https://github.com/FossifyOrg might be a good move?

Hi #lintux, interesting news - thanks for the hint. Sounds like the now fork could solve the blocking of some contributions like mine. Best regards, Stephan 05.12.2023 12:07:09 lintux ***@***.***>:

Done

Maybe we should consider renaming this app to distance it from Simple Mobile Tools ? Since they will seemingly continue to operate under this name, but as a for profit with a possible trademark on the name, it would help avoid any future legal issue…

FossifyOrg has released their first version of the SMT fork, including some new updates, and i haven't seen any special communication between your two projects.

So what's the plan ?
Should we continue using your fork for your own contributions ? will we see them contributed to the Fossify fork ?

[stephanritscher]

I still have the plan to contribute. I just rebased to the latest upstream version by Tibbi as a preparation. I will see when I can find some more time for the next step.
