Crunch3r optimised application for SETI
Posted: Thu Jun 08, 2006 12:38 pm
Hi all,
It seems that crunch3r has deleted all of his source code and has now made it clear that he will not support the SETI project.
As such, if you take a look here:
http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/forum_t ... 655#329877 - see the msg from "Pappa" Posted 7 Jun 2006 17:41:35 UTC
you will see that he has made it clear to another SETI forum member, that he wishes that his application be removed from peoples PC's.
I would therefore strongly recommend to you to:
1) Set SETI to "No new work/tasks"
2) Wait for all your downloaded WU to be returned
3) exit BOINC
4) delete said application from your PC (in the "../projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu" folder
5) re-start BOINC
6) Set SETI to "Allow new work/tasks"
(Furthermore, you should be aware that it is against the terms of the GPL for you to re-distribute "Crunch3r's" application).
This is truly a SAD day for BOINC and the whole idea of open source and the GPL.
regards,
Tim
