Randall, You are missing the point. The issue is not that Bareos is a fork of Bacula. If Bareos were a clean, above-the-board fork of Bacula community edition, conducted openly and maintaining all due attribution and credit, there would not be a problem. But that's not what happened. DassIT created the Bareos fork in secret using Bacula Enterprise code stolen from Bacula Systems by a consultant who was under non-disclosure agreement, removed all of the author attributions from the code in an apparent attempt to disguise the theft, and then launched a smear campaign against Bacula. I think you will have to agree this is a very different state of affairs. -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications ph...@caerllewys.net p...@co.ordinate.org Landline: 603.293.8485 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Put Bad Developers to Shame Dominate Development with Jenkins Continuous Integration Continuously Automate Build, Test & Deployment Start a new project now.
