Tiny Core Base > TCB Talk
Sourceforge is hosting a bogus Tiny Core project.

This is what he says on that site:
--- Quote ---Is Robert Shingledecker a man or a mob?
Instead of getting down off his high horse and sending me an email, Robert Shingledecker has instead elected to whip the users of his forums into a frenzy and send them out to attack me on the internet.
Robert, are you so insecure that you cannot face me yourself? It's just email, don't be afraid...

I don't think this does our community justice, as I didn't see anyone here trying to "attack" him. Instead I read helpful suggestions and moderation from most our forum members.
I pity this got personal. I guess we can move on now?

The content of this blog post is along the same lines of the explanations given and positions expressed by sourceforge in #tinycorelinux.

I tried to say that early on:

There may be ruffled feathers among the parties involved, but fortunately the issue was eventually resolved.
grandma:
It has to do with morals and ethics and if what you say is true and that person is representing himself as either you or author of Tiny Core, then:
a) ask them nicely if they will specify - "we didn't author the base package - we just added "THIS" (assuming they enhanced "this")
b) if they post that then they did TC a favor getting the package into the community.
c) if they suggest they wrote it, they deserve a truckload of legal bricks dropped on them and
b) the person who paid them or encouraged them is the real threat - unless you are aware of why this particular person would make such a blunder, and
c) are you sure that person is a real person and not a front for someone else?
