Remember the saigonica violation of AGPL with laconica? After being told they said that they will post the source, but no, that didn't happen, till now I still see no link to the modified source on their site. Now, If even MS and other big software companies can't stop the piracy here (not that they want to) then I doubt us can do something with this matter. -- My job: Writing buggy softwares to make the world a worse place for humanity ( ???)???????????? ? / ?/ ?
