They do offer an unbranded version, botstopper. It is part of their commercial offering [0] and intended for "professional" environments

- account42 1y agoIMO this makes it even worse - not only are FOSS projects now happily putting DRM on their websites, they also add ads for a commercial service.
- mpalmer 1y agoCan't fault the logic. Will never use it if that's part of what they've chosen to paywall.
- xena 1y agoOnce the project is sustainable (where I define sustainable as monthly recurring revenue--not one time donations--to be at $5000 USD per month as that is the point where my bank account stays flatlined not accounting for tax), an option to remove it will be added to the version you don't have to pay for. Otherwise, it's MIT licensed software. You can remove it all you want, but I will use that as a signal to focus my time and energy as I see fit.
- mpalmer 1y agoI appreciate the response, and your point is valid. FWIW there's no sarcasm in what I said up top; I'm not here to yuck anyone's yum. I have been reading your stuff for a while, and if anything disproves my original point, it's your published output. cheers -
- xena 1y agoThank you. I'm sorry if I was overly abrasive or rude, but it's getting really old. People have sent me horrible things because of this. I've had to start withdrawing from joining new places under my main identity. Just please take one femtoiota of care that the other side is also a human being with thoughts, feelings, and that they may just be incredibly tired of hearing people complain about something.
- mpalmer 1y agoI legit didn't read any rudeness, it was a graceful retort. > People have sent me horrible things because of this. That sucks, and I see how it makes my (somewhat) measured reaction scan differently. > Just please take one femtoiota of care that the other side is also a human being with thoughts, feelings, and that they may just be incredibly tired of hearing people complain about something. Your shit rocks, your stuff on Tailscale in particular inspired me greatly, and I'm sorry you caught me seeing orange.
- squeaky-clean 1y ago> Can't fault the logic. Will never use it if that's part of what they've chosen to paywall. Is pretty damn rude. It's the kind of thing you say online but would never say face-to-face.
- mpalmer 1y agoI'm not sure we agree on what constitutes "pretty damn rude". It was an inelegant, hastily expressed opinion.
- squeaky-clean 1y agoYes, inelegant, hasty, and with no regard to the person across the wire you're communicating with. Self serving and rude.
- some_furry 1y agoI can't wait for it to be sustainable so I can send a PR to let people use gratuitously furry characters instead. :3 Like... imagine Anubis, but with the "anubis is overdrawn" meme. https://imgur.com/a/RubDWrR https://imgur.com/a/RubDWrR
- kelnos 1y agoSo on one hand you wouldn't use it as-is for anything professional, because of the artwork, but on the other, you'd be unwilling to pay to use it -- for something professional -- because removing the artwork is the paid feature? Unbelievable.
- pineaux 1y agoYeah this is a very weird logic. I would love some kind explanation of mpalmer.
