Thank you for providing the archive.
Do you have source code for all of these versions? As far as I know, these are all licensed under GPLv3. Under GPLv3, I believe that if you are distributing the binary of a program, you have to be willing to provide the source code to a user upon request. So it would be nice if you included source code with the apks by default.
edit- actually tbh I do not know enough about copyleft / gpl to know if you need to provide source code. Maybe it is just the developer of the fork that needs to provide the source code, not you. idk.
It's nice of you to imply that I'm breaking the law by sharing those files. However, to answer your question, no, I do not have the source codes for all of those games. Most of those games were written by other people and those source codes are available on GitHub. In addition, 00-Evan personally requested that I make those available to the public. Of course, if it's going to be an issue, I will simply shut down that G drive and not share those files with anybody any further. Personally, I find it peculiar that the archive has been available for a year now and nobody has had an issue with it including the lead developers of the games. As for my own Pixel Dungeon mods, of course I have the codes for that. While you're implying threats of legal dispute, you may as well go over to the older archives and complain to those people as well such as Domino wood and Fandom and 00-Evan's own PD archive. I'm sure that the PD community will really appreciate it. I have over 5GB of PD apk's, and a source is typically 10x the output size, which means about 60GB of source code. If YOU want to pay Google for over 65GB of storage and the additional bandwidth as well as copy it all from GitHub, let me know, otherwise, stop trolling.
whoa, no disrespect intended. just an honest question from someone who does not know the gpl that well.
if you want help, I have made mega uploads of stuff before. google drive is not accessible to me because I always use tor, and google requires my real life identity, but last time I tried, mega is accessible to me. I do not remember how much space they allow for free. I imagine that I would have to make multiple email addresses, one for each mega account, put 1 mod per mega account, and then write a pastebin of all of them linking to each mega address for each mod. I have no real computer education and therefore do not know how to code / automate / bot it, so making 200 email addresses would take a very long time. But I could do it eventually if I made one a day. It could be faster if I put more than 1 mod per account.
I am sorry that I have made you upset. I apologize.
