Firmware Manager page

Hi there! I noticed that you created a program to help facilitate decrypting firmware files. While all of us encourage contributions, we have had issues with an influx of GUI wrappers (specifically VFDecrypt GUIs) in the past. In addition, as the creator of the program, I think it would be best for an unsolicited person to add your program — otherwise, it looks a little like you're trying to use The iPhone Wiki as a billboard to advertise on. (Listings on the Main Page are also reserved for software with a unique function and a significant number of users.) As such, I made the decision to delete your page from the wiki, as this appeared to conflict with section 3.8 of the Ground rules. If you have any questions about my decision, feel free to respond to this message. --Dialexio (talk) 03:33, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

-M'kay. Can I publish it as a page if I don't list it to main page? It has 3192 users. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by GeoSn0w (talk) 12:23, October 24, 2015‎ (UTC). Please consult this page for more info on how to sign pages, and how to fix this.
That's an oddly specific number. (If it's a download count, do keep in mind one person might download it multiple times... but I digress.) I suppose that it's fine, considering the feature set and amount of users it has. I'll undelete the page so you don't have to recreate it from scratch. --Dialexio (talk) 00:57, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
MM'kay, thanks You can rest asure the app will be updated with more and more features so that will be useful for all users. Have a great day and thanks for recovering the page.

Firmware Manager Source Code

I wish to inform you that as your app uses xpwn applications (specifically xpwntool and hfs), the GNU General Public License requires you to release your source code under the GNU GPL v3. --5urd (talk) 22:12, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

For sure, may I create a Github repo for it? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by GeoSn0w (talk). Please consult this page for more info on how to sign pages, and how to fix this.
A GitHub repo with the source code is fine— it's disclosing the source code, after all. Please address this issue promptly, though— otherwise, I will delete the page once again by the end of the month. (libimobiledevice is also licensed under the similar GNU GPL v2.) --Dialexio (talk) 19:21, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Sure, I'll add it, but keep in mind that the source code will NOT contain the graphical UI at all (as it is my original content). The source code will include the modules in which is used an open source component. My own modules / design is not licensed under open source as no open source component is used in them.

Is this okay?

Gir REPO for GPL v3 version (not including my graphical design and icons) is now available on https://github.com/GeoSn0w/Firmware-Manager
