[freenet-support] Request for including your software in our database
Dear Sir/Madam We are maintaining a database of free softwares for general purpose (www.imtech.res.in) which are available free of cost for general user and academic community. The aim of this project is to help the scientific community in distributing these software. We are a academic institute are not charging any money from users who wish to download these software from our site. we have found your software to be useful for general Information Technology professionals, general computer users and others also. We wish to include your software in our next database release. We already have a copy of software from web. In case , you do not agree please initimate us, for removal of your software from our database. presently your software will be available from our site i.e. Freenet4.0 (software name) at www.imtech.res.in/fsgp/. whenever you are not interested to distribute these software from our site , please write to us . We will remove your software from our database. Initially we plan to provide a link to the original software but later we have realized that a number of software are not available from net or their original site is not accessible or some sites may close frequently. As well as some users do not have internet connections particularly in developing countries , so off-line distribution will help them. Thus, we thought we should keep one copy at our site and also provide a link to original site for downloading these software. We encourage users to download software from their original site rather than from our site (We clearly mention on home page of the database). This way user will get latest version. We also mention clearly that user should read terms and conditions and copy right statement laid for users.

Re: [freenet-support] Request for including your software in our database
Thank you. The actual version of the software was 0.4. We are way behind 1.0, let alone 4.0. The current officially released version is 0.5.2, which you can get from http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet-0.5.2.1.tar.gz (for *nix), or http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet-0.5.2.1.src.tar.bz2 . The windows version is normally installed via the lightweight installer, which will download other required components: http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet-webinstall.exe If you want to include the other required components for a particular version, rather than depending on downloading from our site, they are: NodeConfig.exe (from http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/NodeConfig.exe ) freenet.exe (from http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet.exe ) The README (from http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/README ) freenet-ext.jar (from http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet-ext.jar ) freenet.jar (from http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet-latest.jar ) The official download page, which I suggest you mirror rather than or as well as the Cnet page you current mirror is at: http://freenetproject.org/index.php?page=download You may redistribute, repackage, and modify freenet as much as you like under the terms of the GNU General Public License; simply, you may do whatever you want with it apart from preventing others from doing so, or removing attributions. IANAL though - check the GPL itself, which is included in the source, or from the FSF (fsf.org), if there is any ambiguity. Thanks for contacting us and good luck with your project.

Allowing anyone to host Freenet clients for download only makes it more likely that at some time someone will host a Freenet client that actively compromises anonymity - for the user of that client, and maybe, networked together to perform traffic analysis and compromise others not running that client. This is a problem. If the Freenet CVS isn't secured enough to only allow core developers to submit, that need to be fixed. If it is - there's no problem. No one asks for releases personally certified by Toad or Ian - but a way to _know_ that the Freenet client comes from the Freenet project and not Joe Doe. I must confess that I would assume no Freenet client is released without someone manually checking the submitted code against privacy leaks, new developers shouldn't be able to submit code otherwise. I played with the idea of mailing this list, with a spoofed from (Toad, client update) and a link using a few well known Internet Explorer tricks that hides the true URL, and see how many people I could get to download a fake client. I didn't, though, since I guess more than a few people here might be all too upset by such a little scam. The easiest solution is to give out Freenet-links to the new versions, right? I'd still like to see a full blown digital signature solution, but in the mean time it's good enough if people already running Freenet know they can update their client within Freenet, from a well-known key. ___/ _/ -- http://troed.se - controversial views or common sense? ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support
