Hi! > LSICQ <http://www.freedos.org/software/?prog=lsicq> qualifies for removal > as the source is not available.
>> - I've taken an interest over the last year to go through the software >> list and the ibiblio archive, and prune out any non-free software (programs >> without source, licenses that limit source code reuse, etc). Plus it is unlikely to work: Several years of ICQ protocol changes since the last LSICQ update. But I would like to know what will be removed before it actually gets removed, in case people want to make mirrors elsewhere of useful closed freeware. And: I agree that a Basic program which duplicates functionality of a program already in the distro, which uses more common programming languages, does not sound like an exciting addition to the distro. Password obfuscation is not what lock/screensaver tools should rely on either. Use a proven hashing. A tool to mount secure drive images, even if it is written in a less popular language, would clearly qualify for inclusion or at least mirroring :-) See my next mail... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New Year.
