Not meaning to niggle for no purpose. I actually was concerned that something might have happened at Tripwire, Inc. that I hadn't heard about. Having hear Gene Kim (their founder and chief programmer) talk a few times on the subject, I wouldn't be surprised to see them go proprietary again. At one LinuxWorld talk, Gene was scheduled to give a lecture on commercial aspects of open-source software, which sounded interesting. 'Turned out to be just an extended rant about how and why open source licensing & development inevitably produces poor software, which he felt was proved by the fact that almost nobody helps maintain the C++ Tripwire codebase. I sympathise, but suspect the most-plausible explanation is that coder with relevant skillsets looked at the tarball and said "Ew, icky tangles of C++ and not even any autoconf support, and therefore sheer hell to port? No thanks." -- Cheers, My pid is Inigo Montoya. You kill -9 Rick Moen my parent process. Prepare to vi.
