Wikipedia article:
I am one of whom edited "
VeryCD" article. Wikipedia is free to edit for everyone. If you think something's not good, feel free to edit it. You can edit it directly without a registered ID or with a registered ID.
Actually, Now I can see the Neutre Point Of View (NPOV) and enough references in the article. After reading the article, readers know the situation, they can choose to support VeryCD company, or not support it.
It may be a NPOV violation if you write something like "
easyMule is released under GPL v2" without mentioning the possibility that easyMule 2.0 may copy code from aMule, or write VeryCD company's "
declaration against corruption from capitalized operation kept the website organized and free of advertisement abuse" without mentioning the profit of the company and its owner. I know many users still think VeryCD is not a commercial company because of its beautiful slogan.
Here it is one of the past versions of VeryCD article, it is written just like an advertisement for VeryCD. The article like this must be rewrited from a neutral point of view.
In Chinese Wikipedia, the article "eMule" is created by VeryCD's owner Huang Yimeng (Dash) himself. This article had introduced VeryCD eMule for a long time (about 2004-2008), the screenshot of eMule was VeryCD eMule's, eMule was said to have word filter in the search. Some editors (including myself) moved the content describing VeryCD eMule to its own article "eMule VeryCD Mod" and "easyMule", it is OK now. Plz see the history page of this article. If anyone don't read Chinese, use Google translate.
Huang Yimeng was also listed in a "list of multimillionaires born in 1980s" by some media. Now I added "Chinese" to indicate the "multimillionaires" are Chinese multimillionaires, not worldwide; "some media" are some Chinese media. This news is real, it has a lot references. If you still have something dissatisfied, say it plz.
(edit: The original title is "list of Chinese multimillionaires born in 1980s", in fact it is a "list of Top 10 Chinese multimillionaires born in 1980s" because the list is in an order of property amount. The statistic may be not professional, but can still say something.)
GPL:
I'm not saying if easyMule 2.0 is a GPL-breaker or not. I know something small, but can prove easyMule v1 is REALLY a GPL-breaker.
This is now not written in "VeryCD" article of English Wikipedia, perhaps the issue should be added:
(edit: oh it is already in the section "
Features for both clients", VeryCD's source closed DLP DLL is for both VeryCD Mod and easyMule)
The DLP DLL file in the package and Installer of easyMule (and VeryCD Mod) is source closed. eMule, DLP feature of Xtreme, and DLP DLL file of Xtreme are GPLed. As an extension and a modification of GPLed code, there's no reason to close the source of any released DLP DLL file.
"emuleAdmin", the leader of VeryCD's official "Dianlv usage report" group (He may be a worker of VeryCD company)
http://www.verycd.co...pic#post3918437
said they got wrong merging Xtreme's DLP DLL to VeryCD's, when some users asked why VeryCD's DLP DLL falsely banned Xtreme, ScarAngel, MorphXT, etc., on 5 May 2010. "emuleAdmin" gave a screenshot of the merged code, but he never released the full code:
Now these mods are no longer banned by VeryCD's DLP DLL. But we are sure that VeryCD's DLP DLL is a GPL-Breaker who may falsely banned a lot more. By a source closed antiLeech.dll, you can do any evil thing, ban what you want to ban, not ban what you don't want to ban.
As a leecher, Xunlei is banned by Xtreme's DLP DLL but not by VeryCD's, many VeryCD users blame VeryCD about this. Xunlei company is bigger than VeryCD company, some users guessed they may have some cooperation, so a bad relation is not expected.
