FreeRadius in Windows - was Sourceforge and FreeRADIUS

[Chaigneau, Nicolas]

On the contrary.

From discussion on this list last July (the 25th if you want to dig), it was quite clear that this port (if it is really just a port) was completely unofficial, and did not abide to FreeRADIUS licence (no source provided).

Nicolas.

Objet : FreeRadius in Windows - was Sourceforge and FreeRADIUS

Neither to intrude in this sensitive matter, nor wanting to discuss it, I would just like to ask something for the sake of information.

You are saying you dont have a Windows version, however I do recall reading some months ago about a Windows paid version too. At the time I *think* it was quite deliberate that it purported to be quite official i.e. your team.

If it were not for this email I would not got the slightest idea it was another individual.

Regards,

  Someone released a "FreeRADIUS for Windows" on sourceforge.
Initially, he didn't include the source.  After some discussion, he put
up a copy of the "tar" file from an official release.

  That isn't good enough.  FreeRADIUS does not build or run under
Windows.  Any changes made to build on Windows MUST be released publicly.

  In addition, he seems to have added a demand for a serial number.
I've been getting a steady stream of questions from people asking how
they get a serial number for the software.  I've had to tell them
they've been cheated.

  All versions of FreeRADIUS will be free to download and use.  Always.
 Requiring a secondary license or user registration is not allowed.

  I've sent a DMCA notice to Sourceforge, and they've removed the
offending software.  It will not be allowed online until it is in
compliance with the GPLv2.
