Website seems to violate redistribution license

Unread post by jobbautista9 » 2020-11-03, 06:59

Hi, I just saw this listing of Pale Moon at yepdownload.com, and they seem to be violating point 4 of the redistribution license, since they are providing a different binary (probably a downloader, can't confirm because I am on GNU/Linux) while still using Pale Moon branding. I tried to contact them and used Moonchild's template for illegal redistributions, but their email doesn't seem to work (tutanota returned the mail back to me).

Confirmed.
Malware "installer", too. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/477 ... /detection

I'll see if I can get in touch with them one way or another. Through their upstream hosting and CDN if I have to
