10:59:49          wumpus | so, darkcoin is basically bitcoin core on an altchain with a coinjoin implementation slapped on top, but it seems they don't release the source of the coinjoin part (at least I wasn't able to find it in their repository...).. that tactic smells a bit fishy to me, although they're probably afraid of the ease with which it could be backported to bitcoin :-)                                                          
11:00:25         wumpus | but everyone gets to copy our stuff                                                                                                  
11:02:17         Eliel | sounds somewhat like "we want to keep our pump&dump for as long as possible"                                                      
11:04:05         Luke-Jr | wumpus: wanna GPL BCCore? Tongue                                                                                                                    
11:04:07         wumpus | so instead of collaboration, development gets perverted into *add some feature, hype it up as a new coin*... it's one dev business model I suppose                                                                                                                                        
11:06:03         wumpus | Luke-Jr: I don't think switching licenses is a good idea, but in retrospect it makes some sense                                
11:06:33         Luke-Jr | wumpus: we can't really complain if we explicitly allow it :x                                                                                  
11:06:56         Luke-Jr | wumpus: BTW, I PM'd you (in case you don't see PMs automatically)                                                                    
11:07:03         sipa_    | if people are silly enough to use an altcoin (and by use, i mean as a currency) that is closed source...                      
11:16:01         wumpus | it's baffling indeed



Is this true?
