StrICQ becomes Open Source
Douglas F. McLaughlin has decided to release the sourcecode of the current
StrICQ version under the GNU conditions. Douglas won't stop the development
of StrICQ, but will make a new version. Currently, he's planning for version 2.0
which will be called StrICQ+ and which will contain many new features.
Those interested in adding their own improvements or extensions to the
current sourcecode may do this as long as they accept the GNU Public License
conditions. Also, they should put their extensions at the author's disposal.
Douglas will program version 2.0 in C++ and not any longer in C. He cannot
start with it, though, before he finished moving into his new house. Douglas
further declares that at the beginning he intended only to write a small
ICQ client and that he has learned so much in the last two years that he's
now confidential to make with version 2.0, which will be rewritten from the
scrap up, a really good ICQ client.
