I understand all of that. I just don’t think that the Rebble community having scraped the apps from the Pebble Store gives them the rights to refuse others from scraping it from them.
Sure it does. I can have T’s & C’ for my own services and so can they. They are not legally obliged to let him scrape them. Then they’d need to pay for the load. Makes no sense.
Yes, it does. They didn’t just scrape them and re-post them, they were converted for use with the rebble app (removing signing in requirements, etc) and they offer them under a more permissive license than they were before under fitbit (who closed off and killed large swaths of the pebble store before they turned it off, BTW).
The point is that core is now trying to take that IP without respecting rebble’s licensing terms.
