Lets talk about Picasso v1
I'm going to keep this message very short, as I don't want to waste your time with this useless drama. If you want more detail, feel free to reach me out
TLDR: v1 had licensed code I wasn't permitted to use, v2 fixes the issue. v1 has been shut down. I am sorry
Picasso v1 was a close-sourced fork of Cowabunga. Cowabunga is licensed under GPLv3 which prohibits redistribution of work containing the code from GPLv3-licensed work without providing source code of the ENTIRE app. As me and Lemin were the only real devs behind this project, and Lemin owning Cowabunga repo, I thought asking for his permission would be enough. Apparently it isn't. And I still dont even know what the limitations of GPLv3 are to this day.
We quickly remade the entire app from scratch and named it Picasso v2. Even though it's still named Picasso, it's an entirely new app with absolutely no Cowabunga code inside it. Everything was written from scratch: new .xcodeproj
, new repo, new implementations - everything. We even added new stuff, like tweaks support, editor of them and more. On August 18 we finally published after 2 weeks of insanely time consuming work, and shut down v1. No one is able to redownload it anymore. v1 was a mistake, and I apologize.
