<li>We don't like lots of 'e-mails' flooding our mailboxes with things like 'Maximize you revneues from your app!' and/or do a better job at monetizing your app by downloadingour monetization SDK!'. We have a nice backcatalogue of that type of spam cluttering up our mailbox every day - unwanted. Let it be known we want no part in this 'racket'. We do have standards, and we do have a soul.</li>

<li>We believe that a future where you have to 'pay' for every little 'app' that is out there and where Google/Apple/Blackberry/Microsoft decide what you can run and where every 'dev' can just push 'ads' to you and 'steal' your personal information is anathema to what computing was supposed to be.</li>
|
||||
<li>We provide all the means to any and all devs to make their own builds/packages from source - unlike others everything we do is immediately committed to Github so whatever you can fetch from source on our Github repositories is exactly the current state of development.We know this leaves us wide open to the same kind of 'abuse' as other projects have suffered - RetroArch being GPL alone sees to that. But we hold the overriding belief that by being both 'free' as in libre and 'free' as in beer, we can undercut any and all cynical moneymaking 'copycats' that pop up that have their entire code based on RetroArch. It is hard to beat this non-compromising strategy, and they know it - being 'free' of ads and being 'free' itself is a hard winning combination to beat for an opportunist who only cares about raking in money.</li>

<li>Unlike other gullible and childishly naive GNU warriors, we very clearly see the abuse happening on apps stores to do with reselling other people's GPL-licensed code and we abhor this. We make absolutely no distinction between ports that were lazily ported and sold for money vs. the ports that received a bit of spit and polish and are sold - they are both equally bad. Donation-ware and soliciting money falls into that boat as well. Here is the deal in case you think this stance is 'extremist' - you are absolutely deluding yourself. 5. We think it's intellectually dishonest to make a big stink about Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft wanting to 'pull' emulators from an app store when you are simultaneously charging users for the privilege of running 'copyrighted' ROMs. Therefore, we don't even engage or participate in that intellectually dishonest doublethink altogether. As soon as you sell your wares - you are fair game - everbody and his lawyer knows this, and frankly, everybody who does this will get what is coming to him/her - there is no free lunch Jack, and you will get what is coming to you.

Which is why we will maintain the high ground and not engage in these kind of activities.</li>

<p>Note - these stances are 100% final and will never, ever be subject to change. We feel very strongly in them. They are intended to piss off what we consider to be unsavoury forces in this current computing landscape that are seeking to corrupt this industry and make a quick buck at it on the side and they do succeed in doing so.</p>
|

<p>BTW - we know for the record that the 'monetization fetishists' are united in their hatred for our iconoclast stances - and all we can say is - to quote what a great President once said - we welcome their hatred. Somebody needs to start the backlash against you guys - might as well be us.</p>
