Just to note, changing the name of the OS is something you probably want them to do if they modify the source code. You probably wouldn't want your project's name on a shitty version (This is why trademarks are a good thing, I hope you have trademarks on DexOS by now).If you wish to report a violation of our Acceptable Use Policy at a subdomain of is-a-geek.org, please contact our abuse department at [email protected].

) Their ISP may be able to do something about it - if they're in the US then you can just send a DMCA takedown notice or something, can't you?JamesM wrote:is-a-geek.org is one of the domain names of dyndns.org - for those that don't know, this is a tool which allows you to have a DNS name for a dynamic IP'd server - the router on the server's end informs dyndns of any IP changes.
This is usually used to set up servers on a standard ADSL connection - i.e. dyndns doesn't host the data, so it is in no way responsible and in fact, can do almost nothing.
Sure, that's in the States. But stuff like this isn't enforced too much in countries where some licenses do not take affect (non-standard OSS licenses may be justified as being PD.)Steve the Pirate wrote:Their ISP may be able to do something about it - if they're in the US then you can just send a DMCA takedown notice or something, can't you?JamesM wrote:is-a-geek.org is one of the domain names of dyndns.org - for those that don't know, this is a tool which allows you to have a DNS name for a dynamic IP'd server - the router on the server's end informs dyndns of any IP changes.
