The title on reddit was implied that ZodTTD was going to respond to the licensing claims. I see nothing here that serves as a response to the claims being levied against yongzh and ZodTTD.
"First and foremost, our takedowns have nothing to do with any sort of open source licensing violation. Both Yong and I handle developer relations behind the scenes. We give cuts to original authors at times, and I have posted sources to my source repository. Though there is a lot of rhetoric surrounding this, it is not an issue."
You are correct. This was not about open source violations, as that was not the reason Google removed our apps and followed through with removing our accounts.
