pook1y7985 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I'd be more inclined to go with Coffee4Joe's posted 28 October 2012: http://forum.pirifor...ndpost&p=223579 Yes bit I tried his coding and it doesn't work CCleaner does not respect *.Log.* so it doesn't get any of those files. Ccleaning the entire directory has no issues all files are recreated over time as logs are generated. Just compare but entries and see the amount of log files captured.

Winapp2.ini Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 Abelssoft WashAndGo2013 hilariously completely rips off an older version of winapp2.ini. https://dl.dropbox.c...1-11_190537.png Edit: on a serious note, does anyone know if there's anything I/we can do to prevent people from using winapp2.ini to make money? Something like a license or whatever. I've no problem with people using it in free software, but WashnGo is $11 $38 after the 30 day trial, and I'm really not okay with our work being used to make another person money. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted November 12, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 12, 2012 I would assume it could be considered part of CCleaner's license in the fact that they are in ccleaner format (except doesn't it also work in bleach bit? maybe that app is a bleachbit fork but I doubt it.) ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Winapp2.ini Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 http://www.abelssoft.net/apps/washandgo $38 for a rip off of winapp2.ini. I had considered messaging the admins to see if they retained some sort of rights on winapp2.ini, but I was unsure as to whether or not that made sense. They seem to have baked many entries into the binary in lieu of including winapp2.ini support (unlike BleachBit, which downloads Winapp2.ini, and is free) winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted November 12, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) The winapp2.ini (file) has been ripped off since way back when TwistedMetal maintained it. It's probably one of the most ripped off cleaning files on the Internet which can be verified by using various free or paid cleaning tools that don't even bother to change the names, descriptions, etc. They could at least state it comes from a freely available and downloadable community file from Piriform. Hmm, which gives me an ideal, why don't Piriform license the file as GNU GPL, then it could have a license, etc., included with it and links as to where it came from. Or how about making it proprietary so that it can only be created, edited, saved via CCleaner - that would stop anyone from casually ripping it off, they'd have to revert to hacking to get it. I had considered messaging the admins to see if they retained some sort of rights on winapp2.ini, but I was unsure as to whether or not that made sense. I seriously doubt they'd even do anything about it. Although a cease and desist warning would be fun to scare them even if only for a laugh.

Moderators hazelnut Posted November 12, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 12, 2012 As I live in UK Winapp2.ini I rang CNET and spoke to the sub editor about Abelssoft showing a CNET outstanding rating. He said he would pass it on to department concerned and they would look into it.

Alan_B Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 OpenDNS told me lies.

TheWebAtom Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 does anyone know if there's anything I/we can do to prevent people from using winapp2.ini to make money? Yep; you would need to create a license that permits modification (so that forum members can continue to curate and improve the file), but also restrict its use to a specific product (CCleaner). I'm not aware of any license like this that already exists, so you would need to find an intellectual property lawyer to draft and submit it for review. Technically speaking, until such a license is written Abelsoft isn't doing anything wrong. Immoral? Yes. Illegal? No. Since any new license wouldn't apply to previous releases of the file; Abelsoft could continue shipping the file until it becomes so ridiculously obsolete that there's not much point using it. Which would practically never happen. making it proprietary so that it can only be created, edited, saved via CCleaner Wouldn't work. In order to edit the file it would need to be converted to cleartext. That cleartext could be copied into another file and parsed exactly as winapp2.ini is these days. This would also sidestep the licensing on the file; as the act of converting the file to cleartext would nullify the copyright over the proprietary format. Welcome to the pain of Open Source development. Regards, Someone who's been on both sides of intellectual property disputes more times than he cares to admit. I'm Shane.
