Welcome to all,

Where do *you* stand?

The patching issue remains unresolved. It will certainly remain so until
the patchers decide to identify their modified client and submit their
code to the authors of the original software for review. Even then it
will remain highly controversial as using a modified client is against
the will of the SETI@home project team.

When you decided to participate in this science project you agreed to
the licence agreement:
http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/license.html

SETI@home clearly states: "You may only use unmodified versions of
SETI@home obtained through authorized distributers to connect the
SETI@home server."

The official SETI@home statement on patching stresses the above:
http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/#current_news

                  < OFFICIAL SETI@home statement>

UNAUTHORIZED PATCHES TO CLIENT: It has come to our attention that some
users are distributing unauthorized patches to the SETI@home client.
We cannot verify that these patches function properly and are virus
free. It is very important to the science of SETI@home that you run
only the unmodified SETI@home program. 

                  


It seems to me that the above is absolutely clear. Now I ask you again.

Where do *you* stand?

You can demonstrate that you stand on the side of SETI@home by adding
three simple lines to your emails and/or newsgroup postings. The very
first line of this posting and the two lines below, or any other similar
statement of you choice.

Then it will be clear where you stand. Be loyal.


Regards, Alfred Das.
