XgridLite 1.0.2 Released Under GPL

I just released XgridLite 1.0.2. The only change from the last version is the removal of all code related to license verification, and an open source license: the Free Software Foundation’s GNU General Public License. There’s no reason for me to extort $15 from fellow grid geeks any longer; for such a small community it just makes sense to give the code away for free and ask for donations. (Plus, I never got around to writing an automatic way to send people licenses after they pay, and i don’t have much time these days as a grad student for such things.)

Check out code.edbaskerville.com for the source.

  1. Ed – thank you for writing this code. I’m a grid-geek-wannabe who’s doubly impressed that you would make this available for people who don’t otherwise need a Mac server AND that you would do so for free with the community’s best interests in mind. Thank you!

    Ed,

    I Love this bit of software, however, I just got a new power mac, and to my horror it doesn’t work with leopard. I have seen a note you have made, saying that a leopard version is something you plan in the future, I was just wondering if this release might be soon. Being a grad student, surly you are up from some procrastination of this kind.

    Hi Richard,

    Ack, yes, I still haven’t done it. I still need to. I’m a first-year student taking classes, teaching, and not yet running any simulations, so I haven’t been selfishly motivated to update it just yet.

    I’m going to move it up on my to-do list to this weekend on the off chance it’s a real easy fix. You’ve been added to my mailing list of people to notify when it’s ready.

    –Ed
