Beware of A2DP Volume clones

This is a real scam.  There are at least 2 clones of A2DP Volume on the Play Store.  Ok, its open source so fine.  However, one of them has a "pro" version they charge for.  Luckily it has had less than 50 installs since November.  This is also an old version of my app.  Buyer beware.

    I saw that too. Why don't you report it to Google? Why wouldn't Google enforce developers' code being RIPPED OFF like this, without authorization?

    I assume what "K Soft" did was a violation of your licensing agreement bundled with "A2DP Volume"?

      I put a GPL V3 license on the code. It is open source so people can copy, modify, and redistribute it actually. They do however, have to provide the source code. The finally did last week for the free version but not the paid version. Still, it is pretty lame to do this and charge people for the work of others. It would be tolerable if: they gave me credit for the work, provided a link to my project, and did not charge for it.
