Has anyone checked it out?
this link does not bring me to a particular game. Just a list. I searched the site and found this:
http://m.android-4-1.apps.opera.com/en_ ... ed_section
IS this what you are talking about?
Yea, Antison this is what I'm talking about.

That one that you found ("Andor Andor") seems to be another rip off by the same guy.
A third one has the name "Andor adventure":

Wow, good work Mayweed. There are three rip-offs on here. Lol and they're all the same game.

:sigh: More people abusing the open-source license of the game.

And here the are direct downloads of the .apk file; this is pretty unethical for an app store and seems like the person simply downloaded the apk and put it up on their site.

Nice find Xero.

IMPORTANT:

please read the link I have provided. It is imperative you do so. There is a process to this and stepping outside the legal process creates an unnecessary liability.
Follow the procedures and do it the legal way and protect yourself.
Do not be a hero and take it on yourself. If you will read it you will see that not following the correct procedure could result in legal action against you instead!
Read the document people

Yep, yet another ripoff.
Thanks for spotting it. I believe there's a thread dedicated to this somewhere, but our admin-ninjas will merge the post before you can find the original one :D

I'm sure the dev team will take legal action at Google to get it exterminated.
That's the downside of open-source.... the leeches come and steal your work.
If they deliver the sources and globally comply with the GPL, that's another matter...

I love how their "great web search" makes the app go from 6mb to 13...
Just sad.
