An Open Letter to Mr. Augustus Zivilrecht, MSc (Ausmainz)
Universität Mainz, Faculty of Computing
Der Bundesrepublik Großrheinland Reich,


It has come to my attention and the attention of Xzaerom Institute that OpenFuse, in its standing, is a fabrication and outright imitation of Xzaerom Fuse:

  • OpenFuse's Intelligent Ram is Xzaerom's IntelliRAM
  • Interpolation technology is Xzaerom's SmartSmooth Technology
  • Your optimized code is simply getting rid of provided unnecessary programs, something that Xzaerom already does in the quality of our Fuse
  • Your proxy-optimized surfing not only will not allow proper login of cookie caching, but also reminiscent of our built-in OS browser
  • Your Open-Source infrastructure dirties Xzaerom's name, not yours, due to third party providers that will fill versions with spyware and adware

Xzaerom focuses on the quality of its products to its consumers, and while you flaunt your so-called 'superior security' it all relies on admin information which can be easily acquired. Xzaerom's strong security background in ties with its Nexus network and programs allow a syncing with the Fuse OS from Xzaerom, allowing a superior back-up and security. Therefore, the backwardness of your lack of connectivity around networks makes OpenFuse not only a blatant plagiarism, but also an outright mockery of Xzaerom's proud security network.

OpenFuse, furthermore, has a name too reminiscent of Xzaerom's 'Fuse', making it no coincidence that this project, whoever it was made by, is an outright plagiarism of Xzaerom's Fuse project and therefore not only undermines the efforts of hundreds of workers and designers on the project but also deprives them of the pay they justly deserve for making a business-oriented environment. Not only does OpenFuse fail to live up to a networked society in creativity, performance or security, but also fails to provide even a basic understanding of the business environment.

This, all considered, is an affront to the Xzaerom name, and I demand that you immediately take down all source files from the University in regards to this or immediate action will be taken against you.

Sincerely,
Insilith Abuomn,
CEO of Xzaerom Institute.

To address Mr. Augustus Zivilrecht, MSc (Ausmainz)
Universität Mainz, Faculty of Computing
Der Bundesrepublik Großrheinland Reich,

I am under the understanding here that you are presuming what IntelliRAM does and even downplays its function. In fact, your claim on Intelligent RAM is more akin to IntelliRAM's processing than a process manager, which does not allocate but rather survey allocation of RAM on frequently used programs. The program is distinct because it provides a noticeably new and unique allocation and coding that is under review and management of Xzaerom.

In regards to Interpolation, your argument on the case is an over generalization of your plagiarism to accuse us of irrationally implying an umbrella lawsuit. That is not the case, and rather that our grievances is over this particular program in this context in this light that mimics very strongly Xzaerom's own technology. Your over generalization does not help but rather dodge the question.

We are not claiming the field of computer science, but rather noting the strong sense of imitation that exists in the entire project - imitation of image and projection is illegal as copyright defines that derivative works built upon it are entirely against not only international law but rather against Tsellian law, which Xzaerom's Fuse operates under. Your imitation of the Fuse is an open mockery and derivation of the work Xzaerom has developed over the past many years, and your recent information display on your development blog clearly shows that ground up development was similar.

You again presume that your coding superior to ours, which cannot be tested properly and qualitatively argued unless you have actually looked at our coding, upon which that means that you have opened the OS programming, violating the Fuse's terms of service, which furthermore results in proper legal action.

I find it difficult to believe that such language is coming from your mouth, especially from someone who has a degree in computer science and continues to fail to realise that Xzaerom works on multiple levels from within the OS to the network to the Nexus' server. Breaking through them requires breaking through all the passages, which is a far better security feature than breaking through one Operating System that you have attempted to cloister individuals within.

Blowing up HDs and LANs up remotely is endorsed cyber-terrorism. You are now furthermore under accusations and charges of not only violating the Fuse's terms of agreement, but also to use it for malevolent purposes

I do not know entirely what your agenda is, my good friend, but address the argument for once rather than apply over-generalization and nonsensical strawmans to this exchange - the situation stands very clear in that you are plagiarizing the Fuse and therefore your attempts to throw out herrings in this conversation and failure to address the situation will not go unabated.

I am, of course, not above that you simply take down the source codings and leave it at that. Whether you wish to continue development is fine, but taking credit for the work of our engineers, developers, artists and programmers is an affront we cannot abide. Should you take down the program within twenty four hours of reading this message, then Xzaerom will not pursue further action.

Sincerely,
Insilith Abuomn,
CEO of Xzaerom Institute

Dear Mr Zivilrecht,

I represent a corporation that is interested in acquiring your software. Very interested. Indeed, it is we who made a small donation to your effort recently.

We have many plans for modifying the software to best suit the needs of the corporation. Much of this is highly secret and of profound importance. However, it is also vital that we are able to distribute the software to our subsidiaries, without fear of them releasing sensitive information and coding.

Thus, we must ask you to waive but a small part of the license in this case: the section that states that a distributor may not "impose further restrictions on the rights granted by the GPL".

In return, we would be quite willing to make a substantial donation towards your project, either financial or in terms of practical assistance or in terms of time on high-powered supercomputers.

Yours sincerely,

A well-wisher.

Dear Sir,

Please be informed that Carbon Inc. has begun development on Phoenix2, an operating system that is based, at least 20%, on OpenFuse 0.52. We intend to ship Phoenix2 for free over the internet, but will charge £0.99 P&P if users wish their system to be delivered by post. Business users will use a version of Phoenix2 that costs £19.99.

To Whom it May Concern,

I am unsure who your interpolation is, but I can assure you, your acts are definitely criminal in the surest sense. You will be hearing from my lawyer respectively. There is no coincidence.

Thank you for your time.

In any case, with the current situation, money, a proper safe server, and a very good lawyer at the moment is needed. Coders would be appreciated, though I feel that that would be asking a bit too much.

However, to whom should we waive the part of the license? We understand if you wish not to divulge this information, but we require a thing to grant the exception to, even if it is a figurehead company.

Dear Mr Zivilrecht,

We apologise for the delay: we have been consulting with the Legal Department. However, you will be pleased to hear the results of said discussion. We would like to you waive the aforementioned part of the license to Kriegmoglichkeiten International. It is we who will be the primary users, and we highly value its secure nature.

As such, we would be prepared to make a further donation to your project. Our Legal Department stands ready to assist you, should you require their aid. In addition, we would be able to offer you up to US$ 1 million in the currency of your choosing. Finally, should you have any programs that you would like to run on our powerful computers (we currently have two hours/week free on our best supercomputer), please load it onto a hard drive/USB stick and give it to our liaison officer at the Prevanian embassy: we will return it with the results within a week.

Yours sincerely,

Note that due to the stipulations by the GPL, you may not limit distribution. Business users cannot be forced to pay, according to the GPL.

Dear Sir,

Carbon Inc. is not limiting distribution. If users want a DVD copy of Phoenix2, they need to pay nominal Postage and Packaging. If this continues to bother the GPL, we shall include a USB dongle and claim that Phoenix2 is bundled with that for free.

Following what you have said, business users will be able to get their hands on Phoenix2 for free. For installing the system onto a mainframe, Carbon will charge £39.99 for technician prices. Please note that Phoenix1, which is not tied to a GPL licence, will continue to be sold for £19.99 to customers to want it.

We are also pleased to announce that we are about to ship Phoenix2.2 "Hermes".

Dear Sir,

The Phoenix2 Team cannot help notice that OpenFuse 0.52 lacks a distinct user interface. We would like to help out, by permitting OpenFuse to use the user interface used by Phoenix2; albeit with modifications to remove the features that do not exist within the pure OpenFuse distribution.

Image

This is an image of Phoenix2 1.2 "Hermes", Release Candidate 1. We are willing for OpenFuse to use a modified version of this interface. Please note that this one screenshot does not cover the entire user interface. For example, when logged into a select variety of social networks, cloud pop-ups will appear below the "+", and other useful information will appear.

In the top-right corner, the Google favicon is shown. That is because Hawk, Phoenix2's instant search engine can be set to work on the internet, and during the screenshot the user is on Google Search. Normally you would see a Hawk logo.

You will find code to the Phoenix2 user interface, which, along with the rest of the operating system, is free and open-source at http://www.phoenix.org.dg.

Thank you,
