apparently AVR Doper Clone published in Elektor

Hi,

I have just noticed that the July/August issue of Elektor contains an AVR-Programmer, which seems to be based on AVR-Doper. I didn't manage to download the sources but it looks like it is based on ObDevs USB-driver, even though ObDev is not mentioned at all

Not a nice policy...

Regards, Tom

Heh, would be the 2nd time..

Don't you love 10minutemail.com

.. Just d/led the project archive and guess what -- it's based on AVR-USB 2007-08-07 .. Acually it is an older version of AVR-Doper:

Code: Select all

/* Name: main.c
 * Project: AVR-Doper
 * Author: Christian Starkjohann <cs@obdev.at>
 * Creation Date: 2006-06-21
 * Tabsize: 4
 * Copyright: (c) 2006 by Christian Starkjohann, all rights reserved.

 */

I also loaded the PDF of the article. Yep, no credits

Found the author (Nand Eeckhout) tho, seems to work at Hypex Electronics B.V. in the Netherlands.

I just came across this... Want to mention one thing: The first time Elektor missed the citation, it was not the author's fault. It's probably the same here.

Legally, they are not required to cite AVR-USB, as long as the code is published under GPL.
