If a programmer ends up in jail, it is kind of important to know why, so we can assess if we want to run/use their software. So without writing the details I found out, the alleged crime (if it is the same person) is a crime we as society disagree with, very much. But it isn't related to cybercrime in a sense where it can hurt this software project directly.

That is not what he was charged with, and he was acquitted. I know him personally and he is a good guy, despite how this looks. Works hard to take care of his family, despite a severe disability, and doesn't have a mean bone in his body.

I think you should remove this link and correct your comments.

It's a link from the sheriff's office, and I agree Sam is not a mean person. I've known him since childhood.

is acquitted, and serving a life sentence? what

[icecheese]

Dude is absolutely not serving a life sentence. I don't know where they got that from. There also isn't anything stopping someone from forking Durdraw if they want to.

It looks like public service website, but it returns `403 Forbidden` for EU IP address. Any ideas?

[owlninja]

This certainly changes things...
