Mwongozi was one of many readers to note that "the NY Times is reporting Justin's resignation from Nullsoft, and more details can be found in his weblog. One has to wonder whether this has anything to do with the WASTE fiasco."
-- "It's the height of ridiculousness to say for those 9 lines you get hundreds of millions."
Why don't they ever ask politely?

``If you downloaded or otherwise obtained a copy of the software, you... must destroy any and all copies of the software, including by deleting it from your computer''
Other valid means are: - just throw the whole computer out. That way we'll have covered all the bases for future potential license violations - hmm can't think of anymore (well this list sure fizzled out fast)
``Any license that you may believe you acquired with the software is void, revoked and terminated.''
Well Schrodinger's license is definitely dead then. I never downloaded it but now I'm wondered if I got one through some quantum license-tunnelling effect.
I wonder about the order of voiding, revoking, and terminating? Was it in series or in parallel? Sounds like the license got taken out back and worked over by the three of them at once.

According to Yahoo! news the resignation was explicitly caused by AOL's treatment of WASTE.

Lost Sheep to Shepard, you got your ears on?
Justin first releases Gnutella on his/AOL's site, then WASTE... now that he's no longer going to be working under AOL's thumb, I wonder what kind of P2P file swapping/sharing/pirating marvels he'll unleash upon the world? Maybe the RIAA should just go ahead and begin their lawsuit now...

I use Winamp3 because I like the new XML-based UI and multiple playlist functionality.

Don't for get the non-compete clause: "for the next 17 years you agree not to think on behalf of any other company".... guess that means you can only get a new job if it's in management.

Are you kidding me? I'd kill to live in bondage. It would save me that $100 bucks I shell out every week for an hour with the chick in the black leather outfit with the whip...

Hmm, you don't use two of the three items you mention and they've changed the way you "work/play"? Hmm... yes, very interesting.
given AOL's nearly 80% drop in price. He sold the company for $86 mil, and got to take home $20, divided among the original stockholders.

IANAM (i am not a millionaire) far far far FAR from it in fact
I on the other hand, am a millionaire, I invested in AOL about three years ago, no doubt by now my shares have increased tenfold, just like they told me they would.

AOL, it really whips Frankel's ass.
