Thread Cleaned
Thread cleaned, let's break it up.
As it was recently stated, if a developer's work is closed source, that is his prerogative and only the kernel source is required to be presented in the OP. However, you would be hard pressed to prove original development should it ever come to question.
This whole Original Development vs Android Development is very silly. In fact, going forward, all newly added devices are doing away with it altogether and this od vs ad will soon be a thing of the past. Where your rom gets placed is nothing to get upset about or hurt over. It is no indication that "you're not good enough" or that your work isn't worthy.
The concept behind an original development section was to have a separated area for firmware that was a first of it's kind or state of the art improvement with original works. If it is not a first of it's kind or some extreme beneficial improvement, it stayed in Android Development.
So if any of you are approached by the staff of the site and it's "original works" comes into question, don't go rallying up the troops in your thread to make you feel better about it? That does nothing but cause a ruckus like what you have here and it certainly won't be tolerated.
Keep doing what you do, everyone will still enjoy your works despite which area of the page they will clip/tap and like I said: Original/Android Development separation is a thing of the past going forward.
No more discussion on this matter will be allowed here.
If you have issues, take it directly with me.
