Redcore lesson: money talks, but not always

THE DEVELOPERS OF REDCORE claimed it to be China's first self-innovated intelligent browser. But hours after the developers obtained a funding of 250 million yuan ($36.4 million) from the market last month, they were exposed for stealing Google Chrome's open source code. Science and Technology Daily comments:
Programmers around the world are using the open source code. Although there are no laws prohibiting its use, users must abide by the open source agreement, and maintain the spirit of common contract.
The Redcore developers believed more in bragging about how their product would help the investors earn huge profits in the future, and little in the common contract spirit. By doing so, the developers violated the rules of the game.
