AOL Threatens Peng, Demands Domain Handover

Posted by timothy on from the but-peng-is-cute dept.

nutznboltz writes "According to the Peng project website AOL has sent them a cease-and-desist letter claiming that Peng, a GPLed software project is commerically exploiting AOL and has until Oct 15th to hand over the pengaol.com domain name." Update: 10/12 17:45 GMT by T : As several readers have pointed out, the domain name in question is actually pengaol.org, rather than pengaol.com.

    I spent an ungodly amount of time getting peng to work on my step-brother's system, and I tell you, the build and configuration process was designed by morons. WTF is with needing to be root to *compile* the POS????

    Maybe someone will take the GPL'd codebase and turn it into a ./configure; make; make install type of thing...
