one of the best servers out there!
by Mario Micklisch - Aug 23rd 2004 09:32:33
using it now for more than a year and deploying it on more servers :)
switched from apache to it and not only the administration is foolproof ..
it's really more robust & much faster than apache and most of the other
webserver-projects :-)

Great webserver
by eisman - Aug 14th 2004 01:31:24
This is a great webserver, I liked it so much that I wrote a
review/howto on it.
It is easy in use, easy to handle and fast.

License of "Freeware" isn't very free
by Nevyn - Jul 9th 2003 13:16:24
IMO it'd be better for the project to remove the "Freeware" moniker on
the license and just stick with "Other/Proprietary License with Free
Trial" given that you can't get the source.

Freeware does not mean the source code has to be published, we did not
claim it is G(L)PL or BSD license. There are planty Freeware projects
published on freshmeat.net do not publish their source code. We do not see
any problem with our license claim as our Standard Edition is absolutely
FREE for any purposes of use, even commercial.

Our goal is to provide an easy to use, secure and high performance web
server product with the best value for all level of users instead of a so
so open source project. Close source is easier for us to maintain the
quality, performance and security.
However, we do consider releasing some libraries, like our lightweight
STL replacement, under LGPL or BSD license in the near further. If you
really want to help, please help us test the web server.
Thank you for showing your interest in our product and sorry if you feel
that you had been allured by the “Freeware” license.

I also really dislike the idea of binary-only BLOBs being labeled as
"freeware" on Freshmeat. It definitely goes against the spirit of anything
I would expect to find labeled as "freeware". I expect freeware to have
source available.

That sounds like a pile of VERY poor excuses.
Closed source software is NOT actually easier to maintain, and in fact
it's likely going to be of much lower quality and performance, and have
less security too, than if you published your source code.
You simply cannot hope to attain the highest levels of quality,
performance, and security without having far more eyes than just your own
looking at your code.
Note that just because your code is open sourced doesn't mean you have to
accept changes back or even allow for redistribution, and you can
definitely restrict redistribution of modified copies (though that's
beginning to go against the spirit of open source). I.e. you don't have to
follow common open source development practices just because you publish
your source code for everyone to examine, fix, change, and build for
themselves.
I for one would never ever have looked at your product in the first place
if I had known the source was unavailable.
