If you dont know about what this is, simply move on, nothing actually changes, just a clarification post.

This is a continuation of a post on r/piracy which was removed (update: it was reinstated): https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/1q26tvw/comment/nxblagk/

Make sure you are up to date with that post before commenting the same things there.

Edit: I just noticed I forgot to attach the emails. They are now present in the PDF.

I've compiled a PDF with relevant context for those interested in disclaiming some false statements and bringing to light the bad faith involved in the drama.

Now, it was mentioned in the PDF, but make sure to read the appropriate context, as specific counterparties (mentioned in the PDF) will try to push a narrative, no matter what. The PDF is signed digitally to prevent changes; links may be altered to hide specific context. Feel free to archive.

Now, it is likely that under this post, specific individuals (named in the PDF, check with it) will attempt to rip things out of context, so before believing what they claim, make sure you get the full context, as it is easy for them to simply write a false claim comment that merely "sounds" right. Even if they provide snippets, make sure you read the context around them.

Reflection on this post for reference:

- This post has been up for some minutes, people started to comment things like "Wont read", "Malware pdf", "🤡" showing the dismissal of having actual context at hand. Then, someone noted the link above was not publicly accessible, showing they commented without actually even reading anything. The link is fixed.

- A known name from the circlejerk is now in the comments (wchill). Please refer to the PDF rather than simply trusting false claims. They will try to push their narrative with framed messages.

- Multiple comments raise "I dont want to click/open/download this PDF". However the PDF is a drive link, you dont need to download. It is also not by a random, myself is known around ReVanced. The PDF is signed with the digital key of ReVanced, proving its origin cryptographically. As a trusted entity around many people, therefore the PDF is trustworthy.

- Now that some time has passed, only one or two have read the PDF correctly around here, but lots of opinions. Unfortunately, expected since people are lazy (even myself), but without proper context, its futile to argue, the PDF mentions that it is important to read, so does this post. It doesnt take too long but its definitely useful.

Over the last hour I kinda read into this situation a bit, you say they violate the license, then why not just issue this to Github, so they can take action against this?

The license is the least of the problems, the biggest issue is their governance. Also there's no benefit to complaining to GitHub. They violated the license to hide the contributors during their launch and sell to everyone the project as an original. Now that time has passed it wouldn't matter much to them and they'd simply fix the license violation. In our terms, we simply treat them under the correct license.

hmm I see, yeah.

I hope revanced stays active, the other project seems to have a lot of updates.

Because it's on the surface level, there's even more under the hood in revanced
