What is going on with CVSNT? -

On our site, we currently use CVSNT running Solaris as our source repository server. Use the ACL feature and TortoiseCVs depend on being able to run the cvs ls command, so we can not run a regular CVS server.

I've recently seen CVSNT's retired community version , and now charges $ 426 as distribution fee for all downloads Comes I (commercial edition is only $ 85 per person).

TortioseCVS comes with CVSNT, and I think this version of CVSNT is an annoying habit of displaying a dialog box for upgrade for supported version and sometimes -Any CVS add a business to the upgrade in the comments comments.

At the same time, it seems that there is a new open source package called March Hare, formally open source CVS options.

What is going on? Is EVS replacement for a CVSNT which TortoCVCVS can use? If we upgrade our CVS repositories to use EVs, then what users will notice?

Can I continue using CVSnt without paying $ 426 delivery fee?

We probably get some other issues as soon as the subversion, but I think there are still many shops that are still using CVS, and I wonder. That if any licensing issue is using CRTOET with CRTOT with CRTOT or using CVSNT.

You can still use CVSNT, only you get any new releases directly from March Harre will not do. Any previously released community version is still useful without any license, because it was released under GPL. If a new CVSN code is redistributed (as the GPL permits), then you can get it and compile yourself.

You can avoid ad messaging in login and use M instead of M (you may need to patch any cvsnt client / france you can use) . If you compile from sources, you can remove it completely.

The March-Green GPL is violating itself, so any open question they leave binary distribution (their test ...) without source code, and any way to get it Without it. GPL asks binary distribution to make source code available, and there is no exception to "trial version".

Their new "high performance" closed source proprietary server is being linked to GPL CVS code in a way that probably violates GPL (they themselves say that no one can work without another ), And it could be a reason that they found it difficult to obtain the source code.

Now, under the radar of any FSF supporter, I think that nobody cares about the CVs today, and I believe that as long as it dies, the cow's milk Is not free

EVs are an attempt to write a new server using a database backend and support various clients (CVS, SVN, etc.), but now it looks paused, March-Green now boosts it And as such, I would like to be careful to buy anything from a company, whose license is too low for any other license.
