Is it? I see it as educational software which is also included in some pen-testing systems. We ship other software which could be seen as having an equal legal status. I have no problem in keeping this outside of master, I'm just working on packaging more and more pen-testing software so if it can be included, good, if not, it'll be no problem. >> + (license license:gpl3))) > > The license is actually gpl3+: Thanks. > http://git.2f30.org/wificurse/file/src/wificurse.c.html > Thanks for reviewing them all. What do you think about adding some kind of suckless/minimal build-system thing? They are mostly very repetive. I don't know if we gain something with it, but the url format would be one thing. I've asked about this in the first email I think. -- ♥Ⓐ ng0 -- https://www.inventati.org/patternsinthechaos/
