Zibri’s explanatory post on the iPhone 3G unlock wars continues:

”When someone (iRev) saw it he pushed me to release it and since I partially used open source tools I decided to make it open source too.

“I have been accused of "stealing". In an open source world that word is pure nonsense. Did every Linux distribution steal?

“There are many programs around which used ZiPhone as a basis. Did I complain?

“IMHO, open source is great because everyone can take the code, improve it, and re-release it in open source form.

“That 'cycle' allows things to constantly improve based on people tastes and needs.

“About the 'soon to be released' hacks, think about the Playstation or online games; you can crack them, but you won't be able to play online with legit buyers.

“Now think: what is an offline iPhone? A paperweight. That's what you're gonna have if (WHEN) apple decides to push a button. And this time they will.

“Apple did an impressive work. Not only technically but marketing wise. They have all my admiration and I am glad I contributed to all this.

“About me I will continue being a 'user' first and as usual I will try to improve things I use
and to share with others so they can further improve things.

“If I can, obviously, and if and when I feel to.

“Be hungry,
Zibri”
