Earlier today on Reddit, an Android developer sent out a message telling other developers to look out in the Blackberry App world for stolen Android app being placed in RIM’s app store. The App Developer said he’s happy that RIM made the porting so easy and possible but RIM is not “checking the origin of the apps” . Apparently the apps are being retooled and being made just for RIM’s app store.
This isn’t “RIM developers stealing android apps” this is likely a teenage kid using the great porting tools RIM provided to submit someone else’s app. I have seen this happen and Rim does not tolerate it at all as you suggested. In fact they will pull the app immediately and have done so in such rare cases.
