开云体育Hi John No I did not know that. Well, it is kind of tribute to my work ? Kind regards Kurt ? Fra: [email protected] <[email protected]> P? vegne af John Cunliffe W7ZQ via groups.io ? Kurt, are you aware that the sellers of the SA-5 replaced the picture and turned this document into a manual that they send with every analyzer sold? ? John |
开云体育Hi AGA001 Thank you for you comment Actually I first now found out about the SA-5 and did see the TechMind video, where he show (and saluted) the contend of the printed manual, which is my manual ripped for any reference to TinySA Ultra and the persons involved beyond me. I left a comment about not being asked for using the content and page designs. Anyway, nothing to do about it and it is not first time such behavior is demonstrated. Kind regards Kurt ???? ? Fra: [email protected] <[email protected]> P? vegne af AGA001 via groups.io ? It's very generous of you, but I still think it's unfair to use your work without attribution. I have already expressed my disapproval on at least one Youtube channel describing the SA-5 product. ? The fact that the SA-5 is a shameless knockoff of TinySA, and probably (my guess) unsupported to boot, makes it an unviable proposition. I wouldn't want one if they gave it to me, even though the rotary knob does seem like a better solution. ? I summary, open source is good, actually very good, while the practice referred to here is despicable. ? PS: Rant over. Your work is excellent and I always keep a printout on hand when using my two TinySA Ultra's. |

?
There seems to be no ethics with certain people when they steal the work from you and not even give credit where credit is due.? When you and I started putting this together we didn't feel there was a need to "copyright" the material because it was for the use by our group here as a gesture of our wanting to help others in our group.
?
I had an entire website stolen from me years ago that I spent over ten years building it up.? Nobody asked permission and I wrote the hijacker and he/she never responded back (wasn't expecting they would).
?
We just have to shake our heads when it comes to people like this.
?
What we don't want to do is release the Visio file to the public which would give a thief the ability to easily modify the document to remove our names as the author and replace it with their name and do major changes to "customize" it to make it look like their work.? Yeah, you can do some modifying of a PDF version but why make it too easy for them?!

开云体育Hi David The updated version I have promised you soon to work on, we may add some copyright notes to, although it might not help at all. At least the printed manual they attach to SA-5 look nice.
