Rahmat Wibowo said Raymond Chin's fork was 'legal under its licence', on the same day he accused him of 'stealing code', and still ended by calling him 'annoying'

Commentary

He published it on YouTube on 24 October 2026. Minute links open the video at that point.

  • “Not a violation.” Introducing himself as “Raymond Chin’s competitor” and saying he is “not neutral” (minute 0–1), he gives his answer up front: BridgePlay “is legal under its licence”, already credits the original project, and “the issue is not a violation” (minute 2). On the same day, another of his videos was titled with the accusation that Raymond “steals code”.
  • “Criticise the code, not the person.” His closing list of rules says to criticise the code, not the person, and not to gang up to judge. He follows it with “but this Raymond Chin really is annoying”, and says he is “tired of” him (minute 11–12).

Transcript

[YouTube video, "Kawal Kepakaran: Drama Open Source Raymond Chin Boleh Secara Lisensi Belum Tentu Sesuai Etika", 24 October 2026, 13 minutes. Excerpts from YouTube's automatic captions.] [0:00] Perkenalkan nama saya Rahmat Wibowo, saya adalah kompetitor Raymond Chin. (My name is Rahmat Wibowo, I'm Raymond Chin's competitor.) [2:00] Nah, jawaban saya di depan: BridgePlay sah menurut lisensinya. GPL 3.0 mengizinkan fork, modifikasi, dan distribusi gratis. Dan BridgePlay sudah menyebut NotProton di readme, notice, dan situsnya. Jadi soalnya bukan pelanggaran. (My answer up front: BridgePlay is legal under its licence. GPL 3.0 allows forking, modification and free distribution. And BridgePlay already credits NotProton in its readme, notice and website. So the issue is not a violation.) [11:00] Terus kritik kode bukan orangnya. ... Jangan ramai-ramai menghakimi. Tapi emang si Raymond Chin ini ngeselin emang. (Criticise the code, not the person. ... Don't gang up to judge. But this Raymond Chin really is annoying.)
