Forums Developers Can i have the source code for mric?

Hello,

Can i have the source code for Mirc or any other IRC software coded in Visual Basic 6.0?


Please reply me

From Khaled's FAQ:
Question: Can I have the source code to mIRC?
Answer: Sorry, the source code isn't available for public or personal use at this time.

For VB clients with source code check out ircreviews.org's Windows client list, there are three listed there.

y then ours should b available 2 all? ours- I mean the scripts.

If you don't want your code to be seen by other people, don't publicly release it.

Why be protective of your mIRC scripts anyway? It's not like you won't find an equivalent elsewhere on the 'net which is freely downloadable.

I don't see the connection with mIRC being closed source and why you think mIRC scripts should be closed source. They're two entirely separate things.

mIRC scripting pretty much had to be open source when mIRC was first released, if it hadn't been then scripts wouldn't have been used by nearly as many people (for fear of malicious code), the scripts wouldn't have been able to be edited and so wouldn't have been anywhere near as useful. Basically, if mIRC scripts had been closed source mIRC scripting and probably mIRC as a client would never have really gotten off the ground. The points about dangerous code and code editability are still true today.

and why should we script for free? Shouldnt people be paying for our noteworthy efforts?

dont script at all then

if you noticed, I ended my comment with the 'smirk' graemlin, indicating sarcasm. Learn your graemlins.

If you didnt care you wouldnt have bothered to post in this thread. Your lying.

enough. if you want to bicker and insult, take it private, dont inflict it on the rest of us.
