Open Source Sorftware is in Crisis


 

After this post, I uninstalled WSJT-X "Improved" and went back to WSJT-X.? I find that I can hardly operate it!? I have some learning to do -- but perhaps I've done the right thing.

Happy New Year, Dave.? Thanks for all your hard work and especially your willingness to answer questions and in general help others.

When he was leading the WSJT-X development team, now SK Bill G4WJS complained on several occasions that the hostile forks of WSJT-X were costing his team significant time and energy. That's why there's no supported interoperation between DXLab and "hostile forks" of WSJT-X.

Another example: HRD - a commercial product - contains open source code from FLDigi.
