It's been 3 years since I remembered anyother password than that of keepass. People just don't have integrity anymore. How can they ripoff a source code and try to pass it off as their own ?

People just don’t have integrity anymore.

How can they ripoff a source code and try to pass it off as their own ?

I saw the first screenshot and thought, interesting, they based it on KeePass's UI, then saw the second and thought, hmm, they also happen to have the exact same functionality.

So, if it was some kind of KeePass fork, I´d say it infringes on KeePass´s GPL. I´m not a GPL expert, but I know that derivative work has to be published open source as well.

Couldn´t find a source on MobileWitch´s site, so I wasn´t able to compare them. If MobileWitch was based on KeePass, it doesn´t seem legit to me, as far as the licenses are concerned. KeePass uses a GPL license, MobileWitch simply states it´s free. But I could be wrong. Didn´t put that much effort into it. This thing looks exactly like KeePass Password Safe.
