So i was browisng for some HTML & code editors. trying to get something better for KDE (now useing the bluefish). i need something for a real newbie.
so i was thinking maybe wysiwig - anyway decided to checkout bluegriffon again. and through various hyperlink i came to this: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.bluegriffon.devel/2537
Is this guy serious? GPL licences and he is bundling malware with the product? WTH? and what is the point? i mean this is not something innocent like he says some company adds a browser (not sure what he is talking about). browsers and such can easilly be uninstalled and they by themselves do not install other dangerous stuff or open computer to attacks. but his malware does. not only that - it also seems it is quite hard to remove it.
i understand that he needs money to survive but deliberatelly infecting peoples computers and possibly stealing their money (or at least provide a way for bad guys to steal it) is just plain stupid.
it seems to be limited to windows version but still...
