It is good to know the reason for all this, well you say and I include myself in having thought that our developer`s oscam were bought by the Chinese companies. Sorry for the translation if it is incorrect from google translator, but it serves to understand many things.
Oscam works by submissions,meaning the ones that have the information can voluntarily supply a patch to fix something.
The ones with the information are free to do with it as they please,it belongs to them,they studied and discovered how it works.
The main point is Oscam is depending on contributions,so basically Oscam is an empty vessel and nobody could "buy" them.
The ones with the information can do as hey please,its their right,they own it.If they sell it is their choice.
You guys must be grateful you have people that voluntarily supplied information for so many years,and you should not flip sides when somebody is "delivering the fix" for a price of a new box.
There are many reasons for the current situation,I can only see few things and there might be several others,but if for some reason the information we need is not being made public,people would be very careful not to offend those that helped for years and see reasons to stop their contributions,realize that you guys are the real problem,not them...
