Re: Licensing and Rape-Proofing your ideals.

Well after reading the responses to deprecated and his being "raped" by MusicCity and their admins, let me tell you more of the story.

Back in December, deprecated and I went to MusicCity after watching their stats on Napigator climb to the top. Because of the nature of the climb (extremely fast) we assumed that they had modified Dr. Scholl's code to "spoof". After talking with Firestormo (apparently the lead SysAdmin) for awhile, we discovered (or so we thought) that this was apparently being run in a porn data center WITHOUT the knowledge of the higher ups.

That was lie #1. Lie #2: We vow to remain FREE!!

This was told to us by someone claiming to be the "CEO" during our conversation with Firestormo. After much banter with Firestormo deprecated and I both offered our help and advice. deprecated more so then I since my knowledge is limited.

Over the next several months, firestormo would pop into our network from time to time asking questions. This would usually end with deprecated going over to MusicCity and working on solutions for their growing pains.

Did deprecated assist MusicCity? Yes.

I know this, because the very scripts (in Perl of course) they used, I use. I am part of deprecated's merry band of opennap server admins, and I talk to him quite a bit.

One last note to MusicCity:

Way to crap on the OpenSource movement guys. You make me want to puke. Also, why are you running your software on top of the Internet Explorer interface? Are your people just retarded?

Enough.
