Problematic software sources
Posted: Wed May 30, 2018 2:57 pm
Inspired by Midas' freeware orphanage, I present a list of software developers who have had issues and a brief (!) description of the issue.
NOTE:
NOTE:
- A listing here does not represent a ban. The primary goal here is to have a quick reference for software sources that should get additional time and consideration before adding.
- Please don't post individual programs -- these should be groups of apps or software teams.
- SecurityXploded - switched to encrypted, zip downloads
- Van Loo - not portable, ever-changing names
- Liberkey - used encrypted config files
- Leelu Soft - used to include adware
- Thumbapps - were questions on source code, redistribution
- Icecream - not portable, my experience with their tools hasn't been positive
- 12Bytes - license issues
