I'm not sure what this paragraph means. Can you clarify? If you feel something in 9front is misattributed or should be clarified as your work, it will take seconds to fix. Can you be specific? Initial commits were in 2011, and I don't see much change to the mercurial code until some CVE fixes in 2014. I'd be happy to amend the record on your behalf. I also don't understand the scare quotes around "open" or the part about using other people's software. That's kind of the point of the license. > (FWIW, I found this response especially entertaining after visiting > code.9front.org; "Just Send the Money" indeed.) 402 Payment Required is my default response to search engine crawlers and unpopulated URL paths. code.9front.org returns that up front to mitigate search engines, which otherwise beat the shit out of hgweb. 9front infrastructure is all paid for out of pocket by me and sl, so we're not really interested in spending bandwidth on Google's bottom line. the actual hgweb pages (everything under code.9front.org/hg) have working search functions. the "just send the money" text is a decade-old joke about support contracts and how they handle bug reports. You may note that there is no actual money-collecting infrastructure presented, because nobody actually sends the money. khm ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Tf27e6479d8812712-Mb560a122508d2f77c5e4c934 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
