Hi people. In response to a law that passed the german legislative today, I will cease production, development and distribution of ROCKate binaries and - maybe - even source code soon. The reasen is §202c StGB which states (IANAL translation): "Producing, acquiring, selling, giving, distributing or making-accessible of passwords or other access codes as well as computer programs whose aim it is to commi a crime ... will be punished with up to one year in jail or a fine." See also: http://www.phenoelit.de/202/202.html Basically, these waters are too hot for me to tread in. Though the official reading of the wall - reading from politicians that is - says that they only target 'criminals' and there is no need to worry with the wording, nobody knows when some underworked lawyer thinks he might go on to sue the ass off of everyone in IT. If someone wants to mirror/host/develop ROCKate further, be my guest. If you need technical assistance, I can offer guidance, but I probably won't write a single line of code anymore. Sorry.
