[ggo-discussion] Re: gGo 0.2 sourcecode no longer available

Well, it's good to rant from time to time. ;-)

It's a shame you have to remove the sourcecode, but it doesn't really seem

IGS, or whine about software not being opensource and free, just as there
will always be drug-dealers, murderers, and people who have sex with goats.
Hell, these are probably the same people.
