So I take it you use github for "internal" purpose only then?

We have no issues with addons that support live streaming.There is also was nothing wrong with all of the other features of the addon last time i used it. That being said i will check it out again.
Quote:The developer is making money with online content from other free addons.No problems with asking for donations or limiting features to donors. There is nothing stopping people charging for addons either. People put a lot of work into their addons, most give do it for free and that is their choice - however some may look for donations, again that is their choice. Again though that assumes it is a "good" addon with no questionable content.
A lot of stuff is only available to donors.
Quote:Same as SastaTV, which has been banned some time ago.SastaTV wasn't pulled because of charging/asking for donations, but because they were providing links to streams which failed our piracy rules. It would have been no different if they were giving them away free - it still would have been removed.

You guys (TEAM-XBMC members) can't even ensure, that these sold streams are legal or not. Except you have access to it / paid for it.
Or what is the difference?
But maybe i'm just wrong and it's okay to provide content for money here...

1. The developer appears to be asking for donations. That's fine.
2. Enabling features only for donors is IMO unethical (my personal opinion) when your software wouldn't exist without the freely contributed work of others - I'm not sure that this is directly against the forum rules (wiki) however.
3. I haven't run the add-on so can't comment on whether or not it is OK by the forum rules (wiki) - will refer to others to assess.
Cheers,
