VIA Pulls PadLockSL · Slashdot Mirror

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday April 16, 2004 @12:43AM from the up-down-up-down dept.

yipyow writes "A few weeks ago VIA Technologies posted software based on Nullsoft's WASTE, as reported here a few days ago. VIA PadLockSL included both a Windows and Linux client and some special extensions to work with security hardware built into certain VIA products. It was released under the GPL so I managed to snag a copy of the source code right before VIA suddenly removed their page (Google cache). I have posted Linux compilation instructions and mirrored the source here. If VIA has decided not to pursue the project further, I think the F/OSS community should turn this project into something, it has potential to be a great tool."

"Any license that you may believe you acquired with the Software is void, revoked and terminated."

Void? Perhaps. Revoked and Terminated? You can't revoke or terminate a license that isn't valid, and if it _is_ valid, you can't revoke or terminate the GPL anyway.
