I don’t get it. What can you point specifically to the lie? Did you read the article in full? The headline is wrong, the premise of the blog post is wrong. The only factual bit were the quotes from the developer in which he explains his appeal to his users generosity and provides instructions how to receive the renewed keys for their life time license. The only difference now is the keys weren’t automatically granted but require a manual step. That pause in the process just gives folks a chance to reflect on what a tightwad they are given the pretty compelling appeal of the developer where he says clearly he was young and naive 25 years ago (when he was likely basically a kid) and made a commitment he regrets now, but will honor none the less. That seems like exactly the right behavior for a solo developer to do in this situation. Everyone here is opining how he should be ended mIrc and making nirc as a licensed hard fork that people have to pay for instead. That’s really not in spirit of the original license, but folks somehow find it more tasteful than honoring the original license but caveating it for users as being a financial difficulty for the developer. I feel like I’ve stepped into moral bizarro land. The fork and rebrand to get out of the license agreement is sociopathic to my mind.
