Not exactly. The dev team found a way to run custom ramdisks on the iPhone. At that time, Zibri was part of the dev team. The dev team was preparing an easy method for jailbreaking/unlocking with the ramdisk exploit, and Zibri was kicked out of the dev team because he wasn't that helpful and leaked information on his blog. Zibri then stole the ramdisk code, "finished" it up, though probably not as complete as the dev team would have made it, and changed all the credits to say that he made every part of it, giving no credit to the dev team that actually made practically the entire thing. Then he released it, and made lots of $$ off of it, even though he didn't make it. (This is my interpretation of the series of events - I may be wrong, and hopefully someone will correct me)
Speaking of which, I have an apology to make to the community. I used to talk to this Zibri person, and I made a GUI for his ZiPhone program on the Mac that gave him credit for the exploit. I was notified that he didn't make it, but I never updated my site. I clearly made a mistake, and I won't do it again. Furthermore, future versions of my software will give credit to those who deserve it, and will enhance iPlus instead of ZiPhone. I'm very sorry for any problems this has caused, or any misinformation I have spread.
