Title: A note about script/module releases
Post by: Juppi on February 28, 2011, 08:38:42 pm

We've decided that scripting and coding releases on the forum must include all required source code for them. This has now been added to the forum standard rules (http://forum.liberty-unleashed.co.uk/index.php?topic=134.0) (module releases have already had this rule since the release of 0.1).

Main reason for releasing the source code is security - If we allow releases without source code then anyone could release a compiled malicious script/module. A release with only a compiled module/script doesn't really help the community either, since you can't learn anything new from the code, nor can you modify it for your personal needs.

Thank you for your attention :)

Should or must?

• Script and module releases on these forums MUST have all source code with them - A release without source code does not benefit the community much, not to mention the possible security threats caused by binary only releases
