http://blog.miranda-im.org/2005/02/25/miranda-ripoff/It seems there is a new Miranda ripoff. This one seems to install the lovely, New.net adware. After violating the GPL by changing all of the copyrights and not providing a written offer to the source code (since the source was missing many parts), they are now trying to to fix it by uploading a new source. Unfortunately, waiting to be notified by the Miranda team before they started cooperating with the GPL is not sufficient. They obviously didn’t read the following part of the GPL:
