Tango the frog wants to dial extension 101. Standing between him and a finished call: five lanes of SIPStation trunks, the Responsive Firewall, and an RTP stream that does not return packets it borrows.
We made him a game. It’s live. Top the leaderboard, take the bundle.
What’s on the line (over $7,000 in FreePBX commercial modules)
Arrow keys. One hop per press. Cross the trunks, dodge the firewall, ride a packet across the RTP stream, and land Tango on all five FreePBX extension pads before the lily pad of life expires.
Cool game and all but I’m wondering what Sangoma’s logic behind this was. It was either “We knew and didn’t care” or “We didn’t do the leg work”, otherwise I’d think there’d be more licensing acknowledgments on the game.
The biggest issue I see is that Den Odell’s code has no license in the repo which automatically means “All Rights Reserved” (and per GitHub’s ToS). Even then, it’s example code attached to a published book. Which is the next thing, the code itself is from a published book by Apress written by Odell. Apress could have ownership rights to the code or rights at some level. Because it’s “teaching” they probably took a risk and didn’t get Konami’s permission for Frogger or Apress got blessings. Even then, that would mean the closest license to apply to Odell’s code is an educational/teaching license which doesn’t allow for free use, reproducing or distributing.
So unless Odell, Apress and Konami all signed off on this, Tango Hop is a walking violation of copyrights/trademarks. Which is interesting considering how aggressive Sangoma protects their own, as Sangoma should. But let’s be honest, if I made a game using unlicensed Sangoma code that was filled with Sangoma’s IP/trademarks and ripped off one of your interfaces to play it in…I’d have a cease and desist letter immediately.
Hey @BlazeStudios , It was my idea - I tried to come up with something that was fun and would be a good giveaway. Legal gave it look too. That said, I’ve been here close to 7 years and have never sent a C&D. Give it a rip - Maybe you’ll win.
