In honor of Labor Day, I thought I'd unscramble last week's post to save you all some labor. Nyuck nyuck.
So, the phrase for reactions is:
BitWise Open Source
For those who have written to me saying you're too lazy to unscramble, now you don't have an excuse! ;)
That would be quite interesting. I thought you were fond of not having it open source. Would this then mean allowing other apps to using the Bitwise protocal?
Sounds interesting. What will be your marketing strategy? Something similar to XaraLX?
He really hasn't said what exactly it means, yet, which is quite annoying.
I haven't said what it means yet because I don't know what it means. It's just an idea. Open sourcing would probably allow other clients to use the BitWise protocol, which I have mixed feelings about.
The main idea here is to explore the idea of open source and whether it would expand the world of BitWise, make no difference to the world of BitWise, or hurt the world of BitWise. That's really what this is about.
So, Tom, it means exactly whatever you want to say about it. :)
If anything, it’d make all the paranoid ’nix users (of which there are many) feel better about BW — seeing how it’s hard to trust the properness of BitWise’s encryption mechanism (the protocol, for the most part), if it’s closed source and uses an unpublicised protocol.
You should tell the *nix users to step into 2006.
