VIA Pulls PadLockSL

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."

Wow, you're a celebrity now. Congratulations. Also on your server getting slashdotted to pieces.

Have you ever READ the GPL? Section 3b. Offering the source from the same place is ONE of the ways to comply. He can also offer to provide a complete machine-readable copy of the source code, or pass along the offer he got when downloading (provided he's not doing it commercially).

So shut up.
