Here's the correction you asked for :) You don't need developer account to build XCode projects on your phone anymore, you can just sign in with your Apple account and sideload it.
And resign it on your computer every 7 days? Not exactly a walk in the park.

> So this is the Romanian guy What relevance does it have that he is Romanian?
Why is it an issue to mention someone's nationality? Do you have perhaps have any pre-conceived ideas around that particular nationality? (Edited out things that should not be offensive, but could be perceived as such.)
It's not an issue to mention someone's nationality. Intent matters. That is why you don't say "he's just a black murderer from NYC" or "he's just an arab terrorist".

No, it seems that you have. What a lame attempt to spin it around. Funny how you edited your post after people called foul, this is your original post: http://i.imgur.com/HaejrYq.png. This link you posted is amusing: http://blog.siftscience.com/2013/global-e-commerce-fraud. Those American scammers!
I stopped using Dash long time ago. http://devdocs.io/ is enough for me.
Dash is basically a simple shell around various HTML docs and still has better UX.

Aaah, come on. Putting labels on people based on the country and statistics is a bit stupid. Same as all arabs are terrorists thing. Yeah sure lots of people from my country ( Bulgaria ) are statistically dodgy, but there are also legitimate ones. Law says : "Person is innocent, until proven guilty."
You kinda said it yourself, there.
If I understood your sarcasm correctly, I would assume that according to you statistics describe what people are.
For example. Statistically Sweden right now has the highest amount of rapes in Europe [1]. So it means that most of the Swede are rapist. Hmm.

Yeah, the guy's a fraud, just don't give him any attention.
Despite his past actions, isn't releasing this as an open source project ultimately a generous act? Many people have paid for this product in the past—ergo it has value—and now, it is free for use and modification.

Let's not judge so quickly and surely. There are still many things we don't know, and we have heard a story from him that makes sense, and I find plausible. What if he really is mostly innocent? More importantly, Dash app is still great, probably the best for documentation browsing, and now iOS counterpart is restored in some way. Isn't it a great move from his side, considering the circumstances? Shouldn't we celebr…
Actually after a little digging it turned out that Kapeli was a shovelware writer who's gone legit. The whole "relative" thing was fully made up: http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-says-1-000-fraudul...

While these may not be the most useful programs in the world, there doesn’t seem to be anything illegitimate about them; in particular, they are neither adware nor malware.
It also doesn’t seem fair to label these programs “shovelware”, which is apparently a term that describes “large amounts of public domain, open source and shareware demos and programs … copied onto CD-ROMs and advertised in magazines or sold at computer flea markets”.
Why would Popescu need to escape his dark and terrible past of writing mildly useful programs?

He's not able to sell it now, so it is essentially worthless. He is now trying to salvage his brand/reputation by this "noble" act. I say we should have longer memory than goldfish when it comes to issues like these.
Edit: My point is: you say that it's worthless, and perhaps it is now to him, but not necessarily to others.
