Why did CrackWhore become open source?
I have put the source code for CrackWhore online on May 17th, 2001 because for a while now, I haven't had any time to update the website nor write any code for it.
This way, CrackWhore will live on and other developers will come up with more features, bugfixes and improvements.
What does this mean?
You can download, read, modify, use and learn from this code. It's yours for free. That is open source.
When you distribute a new version of CrackWhore or an application that (partially) derived from its code, the application must be freely distributable and include the source code.
This means that you are not allowed to charge money for any application you write using this code in any way.
