Update: As some readers have pointed out, Hamster is using the source code of popular software Calibre which is licensed under GPL.v3. Hamster is not releasing the source code, thus violating the GPL.v3. license. This is a serious issue. To learn more, head over to Calibre’s Facebook page.
I’m surprised that even you know that this is a serious issue you still market this hamster software by keeping this post. If you really concern about it, you should at least remove this post.
Why is AddictiveTips encouraging the use of software that violates copyright(left) law?
I find this highly discouraging.
