CyanogenMod, Ultimate Droid and being Kanged

So I woke up to a twitter frenzy this morning, the trending topic amongst the android community, UltimateDroid violating the unwritten rules of giving credit where it is due. Cyanogen has even gone as far as to call out Ultimatedroid and Droidforums.net in defense of himself and Koush, who are actually working from Android Source. What the developers see as a problem is that Ultimatedroid is stating that he is building this from source, however when looking through the code it can be seen that this was pulled from Cyanogens Github. So now we have an all out war growing between Droidforums and Alldroid/Cyanogenmod/Teamandroid. So Cyanogenmod went as far as to confront Ultimatedroid on Droidforums and in response Droidforums have been deleting his posts and eventually banned his IP. Although Droidforums denies the act of banning Cyanogens IP address, Cyanogen says it happened. They deleted a post of my own and have also been deleting Kmobs and Wootroots posts. Cyanogen has even stated that the code is opensource and free for the taking, however he has expressed his distaste over Ultimatedroids failure to recognize where the code is coming from.




Cyanogen from Twitter:

"I just got banned from droidforums.net! I just fell out of my chair laughing"

"Yeah, Ultimate Droid 10 was built from CM source, all while dissing us. Pathetic


So let's see where this story takes us, We will definitely be discussing this on Thursday night at 9 PM on my Android Corner with Brent Fishman, Founder of Alldroid.org.
