It is pubilshed under the BSD license :-) -- you're free to have, you're also free to deploy -- if you have a lab ;-), free to study and free to modify the code. It is still being worked on, there are still bugs and uncompleted features, but I hope that what is already done is a good foundation to further develop the program. The server side code is pure PHP and can be installed on any Apache server, and the client code is C++/Qt. Although at this time I only have the Windows build available, it should be trivial to port over to Linux and Mac, so Linux and Mac clients can also participate in like any Windows client. The export sourcecode can be found at: http://trulabs.truman.edu/sourcecode/ I will transfer my SVN repository to sourceforge in a near future and being the guy who is in charge of the program, I hope that I will receive your suggestions to make the program better and better. If you're interested in developing the program or deploying the program, let me know and I'm always very happy to talk about it. - Huan T. ----------------------------------------------------------------- To get off this list, send email to [email protected] with Subject: unsubscribe -----------------------------------------------------------------
