Questio about BitRocket abound



News is coming in via digg commenters and posts on forum threads linked therein which seems to indicate and give evidence that BitRocket uses code taken from the Tra mi ion.a source without giving any attribution as required by the MIT lice e under which Tra mi ion is released. These accusatio are further su orted by the fact that the developer of BitRocket, Julian Ashton, previously developed XFactor, a P2P a lication, which was proven to take code from the Poisoned project, again without proper attribution.

Update: Scott, our fearle leader, did some digging and found a post on the forum thread linked that I seem to have mi ed. According to at least one account, BitRocket does properly credit the source it uses.
