Gee, notice where I was getting at? Odium said opening the source would appeal to everyone, which obviously you disagree with, so I'm not sure what you're trying to get at. Care to point out where ludde's trying to constrain his ideas? They're perfectly open for anyone to see. Just open µTorrent. I never said anything about modifying the client's behavior. I already know it's easy to modify behavior, with or without the source code, and has been discussed enough times on these forums already (I myself have already said that before). The point is, he wants control of µTorrent's development, and there's nothing wrong with that. You may disagree, with your bias towards open source and all, but not everyone might agree with the open source philosophy. That's right, it's a philosophy. Not a truth. And so ludde isn't obligated to release his code. Equating closed source to the Dark Age treats that philosophy unfairly. Dark Age carries negative connotations, which the closed source philosophy doesn't deserve to be placed under. Many great contributions have been made without source codes having been revealed. Yeah, and if the "clueless masses" downloading these binaries aren't the main group of people being served, whether open source or closed source, then who is? Do developers make up a majority of BitTorrent users?
