We now see a domain mimicking reboot.pro as reboot-pro.de, which in turns advertises a "karebuilder" that copycats winbuilder.
I'm flattered to see people copying our ideas and way of work, I'm just not happy to see someone ripping off our work/names and promote them as their own without providing any credits to the sources of "inspiration".
I know the author since years, even helped him with my personal time to bring his website online in 2009. So I understand that he somehow expects to make money and it is easier to copy our work than bring something new to existence. However, this is nowhere ethical and knowing his financial difficulties, I also don't want to report this case to the authorities.
@Michele13, Winbuilder is not responsible for projects that work with your Windows source or not. Projects for winbuilder are developed by other authors and wb is an engine that only interprets the instructions from a set of scripts. If a project works better than others then this depends on the project itself and not so much on Winbuilder.

Since the source code for WB has never left 'the building', i can not see, how it could possibly be a copy.
Besides, i trust Kare that he did what he said and created a own builder.

@ Vvurat: Excuse me, are you jealous that he made it?

I also agree with previous speakers (medevil, homes32) that there is really nothing wrong with this new project.
didn't see any mention of WB being mentioned in the credits/about box, which should be done if ideas and such were used from wb. if only to be polite.
What about future? Any clear statements form the author?On the website this project or WinBuilder itself is not offered for sale.
Sure, a second choice is nice always.It's great that there are other people that have build another project in the German language.

Copycat and brand name misrepresentation are illegal since a long time ago because of the work ethics of some people: http://www.duhaime.o...PassingOff.aspx@ Vvurat: I don`t wanted to attack anyone personally... (sorry)
Maybe it looks so, but that should surely not make much (because it was indeed realized in a few months).
We are honest now: if it would look different, many still do not like it here in the forum, that it was developed ...

That is not possible.Seems to me to be a good attempt at creating an alternate pe builder. Would be better though if you could just drop the program into the winbuilder directory and it used the existing winbuilder script projects unchanged.

Don't doubt about my honesty as I'm not the one behind a new user profile created with the purpose of replying to this topic. I show my face and take the consequences for my actions or mistakes.@ nuno - "clarification of these facts" / "public timeline of the reported events" are the right words at the moment...
Then you should check to be honest and tell us all why Kare worked and developed suddenly no longer with / for "your" and "your friends" projects...
(after the WinBuilder has been completed).
If you are using a similar GUI, similar scripting language, similar domain name, same project names and take advantage of the reputation/work that we built over the years to obviously deprive this community of its merit, then it is classified as theft in many countries, where Germany is included: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheftWhy then should he not start his own project, which could see the WinBuilder similar ...
This is my opinion:
Therefore, the idea is not stolen.
However, I rather think it's ok for you that this happens to him now. Only to retain the "power monopoly" (and even by any means) ...
