Hi,

I am the developer of the GPL application EmailAlbum (http://
emailalbum.googlecode.com) and the library ACRA (http://
acra.googlecode.com) which allows application to send crash reports to
google docs spreadsheets.

For a few weeks, my ACRA spreadsheet for EmailAlbum has been receiving
a few crash reports from a SDK which was not mine. Since it is open
source, no problem, this just indicated that someone did checkout the
project but was not aware of the ACRA config.

This morning, the spreadsheet is receiving lots of crash reports from
an application that has just been published on the Android Market :
MailboxAtlas

It appears to be a "forked" version of my current unreleased
developments on EmailAlbum, with lots of Force Closes and addition of
advertisements.

If you go read the comments of other applications from this dev called
"social music" http://www.appbrain.com/browse/dev/social+music it
clearly looks that this guy is trying to make money by publishing
slightly modified (and buggy) versions of open source software with
the addition of ads.

I don't know if we can do anything to prevent this but I wanted to
share this with you...

Kevin
