I used to really like distributed.net. The fact that they're still, to my
knowledge, only cracking encryption, and have not followed through on
their plans to do OGR & primes, combined with the fact that their code is
not opensourced, bother me.
I've just switched to the GIMPS.
I have a question though. Why make the Linux source dependant on code
which needs to be assembled under DOS, when there is an assembler for
Linux (as) ?
Also, the source seems to be released something like "feel free to use
this code to make the world a better place as you see fit", but doesn't
actually have a license. I would incourage you to release it under either
the GNU General Public License (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html), or
if you want to allow commercial use, the BSD license (which I'm
significantly less familiar with).
