DC++ forced to go Closed Source.

Post by Xan1977 » 2006-04-01 08:02

Several official documents and pressure from UN, US and EU organizations have forced arnetheduck to stop distributing the VS project files that make up DC++. The injunction specifies that distributing said code is in violation of the 2001 Patriot Act which is intended to “deter and punish terrorist acts in the United States and around the worldâ€

Hm, the paradox (at least for me...) is that I'm interrested in the actual code, not the sharing of files. How stupid is this stuff...really?

I'ts open code, It's readable for anyone with a brain. It's not rocket science. It's possible to achieve this stuff with a computer and a compiler. I don't get it...
