weird.. while looking for an alternative to placesbar editor, I came across (aptly named) xtort.net which links to the site flyakite is talking about... and then I noticed this at the bottom:
I guess that is in response to flyakite's last email.
edit: @flyakite - xtort net contact mail if you want them to change link/info/etc; contact page

I see nothing outragous about this website. To me it's just a mirror of FLyakiteOSX...
As long as the owner of the site has permission from Chris then it is perfectly fine. It seems the person hasn't added in any viruses/spyware etc or charged for it, and he isn't trying to take the credit.
Although I think he should make it a little more obvious that he did not make it; like saying "FlyakiteOSX by Chris Kite"

I don't know when you checked the site, but before sometime yesterday the credit saying that the site is not the official site, etc. was NOT on there. And its not the website that bothers me, no one seems to understand. What bothers me is the author did not actively do anything to tell people that this is not his work. I mean seriously, you go to a website with a domain named after the software, and there is no notice on the front page (you have to go to the FAQ page, read everything till you get to the bottom and find out), so most people will automatically assume its the official site and he is the author.
What REALLY pisses me off though is that he submitted the software to sites such as Download.com and many, many others and lists himself as the developer/publisher. Its a blatant attempt to get traffic to his site to make money off of ads.
Also, there is NO section on the site crediting the other people who have contributes to the project. I try my best to make people realize that I did not create everything. I have credits in the installer and on the site crediting those who have contributed something I have included. www.flyakiteosx.com has nothing like that, and so those authors are not getting the credit they deserve.
