I can confirm that we really love to download sources from Github as prefered place. Releases are usually marked by a tag which automatically puts them on the release page: https://github.com/wrpearson/fasta36/releases Since this page was usually lagging behind your public server[1] we used this as the download location (which we consider only the second best solution after Github). I cloned Github anyway and have not seen any change in master branch. The change you are mentioning are in branch v36.3.8. Besides the licence change I've also found some other fixes: /tmp/fasta36(v36.3.8) $ git log commit 4dec820c25b9250b3500f43b89cec690d736014a (HEAD -> v36.3.8, origin/v36.3.8, origin/HEAD) Author: William R Pearson <[email protected]> Date: Mon Feb 10 14:14:01 2020 -0500 update README.md to indicate change to open source for all code commit 2193bba84772b06a693225ddbae7122cc339220e Author: William R Pearson <[email protected]> Date: Mon Feb 10 10:39:54 2020 -0500 update documentation to highlight open source .sse2 license commit 063f5f1518816344c9dfdfd53799696018311559 Author: William R Pearson <[email protected]> Date: Mon Feb 10 10:14:35 2020 -0500 Add COPYRIGHT.sse2 for Farrar .sse2 code commit 8e24a324d23786818b3f783fee44921a0ca72abc Author: William R Pearson <[email protected]> Date: Mon Feb 10 09:24:37 2020 -0500 correct bitwise-and syntax error in mshowbest.c I verified the previous download we have packaged for Debian from your server[2] with what I've found there now. There are several other changes (like Python3 fixes or so). IMHO its not a good idea to hide these changes from other users (than we as Debian) by simply keeping the very same version number on your server. That's why I would recommend choosing a new version number. Moreover please use tags at Github which would enable us way more comfortably downloading the latest source. You could even add your release notes the according tags and stop maintaining your additional server since all this could be provided by Github and would safe you some manual work (provided you tag also your historic releases). Hope this helps and thanks again for fixing the license Andreas.
