Saturday the new InfraRecorder version (0.44) has been relased.

Beside this, i discovered a bitter news too:

Sunday News said:

It has come to my attention that a company called AppZilla has created a commercial shareware version of InfraRecorder. They have replaced the original copyright notices and license with their own. They refuse to release the source code under the terms that was given to them and clearly violates the GPL license that InfraRecorder is released under.

I don’t want to link to their website from here, a URL is available among the comments from the previous news post. I don’t encourage anyone to download their modified software, it may contain malicious code. It’s possible that it’s not functional at all.

I thought that a word of warning was in place since their modified software is available at some major software sites like for example download.com.

Thanks to the user called paranoid for bringing this to my attention.


:realmad: You have been warned ! :realmad:
