Bureau of Prisons profitting from Andor's Trail?

I recently was released from federal prison in the US. They brought in tablets that we could buy from the commissary sometime in the last 3 years. One of the games available for purchase was Andor's Trail. I was just wondering if the dev team was aware that the US BOP was making money off of your hard work or whether you saw any of the profits from this, as it was by far one of the most popular and well-made games that we had available to us (along with Shattered Pixel Dungeon).

I know this game is open source, but it just seems wrong for the government to profit off of the developers' work. I just wanted to let you guys know about this in case you didn't know and wanted to take some action against it.

Please do me a favor and search for this on the forum. I'm really grown tired of having to talk about this.

Sorry. I was just trying to let you know about something that seems totally illegal. Seems like a bit of a sore spot for you.

Anyway, thanks for all your hard work. Hope you find some way to get recompense from the people who stole your work.

It is illegal and they've been doing it now for years and I'm just grown tired of having to talk about it all the time.
