I dont understand why didn't you just send me a a PM or post a message here saying "Hey, I'm back, STOP whatever you are trying to do here" and actually take time to read the whole topic and check the files I posted?
I would respond that I didn't really sell anything, just the prototyope I made and everyone would be cool I think.
The licence of MIDIbox projects is a vague mishmash of open source but non-commercial. It's not entirely clear to me, and I've apparently adhered to the licence
No comment ;/
However, sammichSID is my copyrighted design,
I would advice to actually check the license and look for a paragraph about derivative work
If you copy it and start selling it under the sammichSID name,
Yeah I already admitted that the topic name sucks and I'm sorry
Also I didn't really 100% copy you design. Yeah I looked at your design and it was my main inspiration. But I also looked at other designs as well - SwinSID, schrabs stereoswinsid and the shruthi. And I advice you the same. You can easily simplify the lcd circuit for example.
Are sammichSID case design files available?
I hope you don't imply that I copied your case design
The point: If you're going to copy something of mine and then call it a sammichSID, people may associate your project with my project; they may think (incorrectly) that it has my approval, or has the same parts, or same build quality; you are effectively trading on my reputation....
For the record the topic states that it is a clone. So I'm sure everyone knew it wasn't the real deal.
I don't think I have anything more to add. I hope we are cool now If anybody is still interested in me ripping off people you can check my Ambika Polivoks voicecard down at the mutable-instruments forums and hopefully in the future another sid synth with less cubersome interface similiar to the shruthi. Bye
