Make encloseJS open source #17

Closed robinrodricks closed 7 years ago

robinrodricks commented 9 years ago

Consider making encloseJS open source. I understand you would like to build a commercial product out of it, but the concerns will be the same.

  1. How can we detect any code injection?
  2. We cannot understand the exact method of compilation?
  3. If there is code injected to convert our app to botnet, how can we know?
  4. If at some time you stop maintaining encloseJS, and we are dependant on it, then what will we do? Go back to using vanilla nodejs apps?
  5. Since its closed source nobody can make any improvements. It remains one-man effort only.
  6. Since its closed source the project may "die" if you stop maintaining it

All these fears and problems go away when its open source. Also github is for open source projects. Make encloseJS open source!!!!

i got an idea guys! why not ask @igorklopov to launch a campaign to open source this stuff at kickstarter, i'm pretty sure he'll get this stuff heavily funded. https://www.kickstarter.com/

I'm cancelling my subscription until open source. Unfortunately i can't trust my code :/. A kickstarter campaign would be the solution in my opinion.

I also note that GPL software compiled with this tool will be not legal to distribute as it will require the tool to also be GPL (or GPL compatible). This seems to be the case with most software I've seen.

Hey, kickstarting is one time solution, maybe @igorklopov, should start a patreon campaign for that? Evan You is rising nice money on that: https://www.patreon.com/evanyou

That's great, I'd totally donate.

That sounds like basically just enclose/nexe as a service.

igorklopov commented 7 years ago

Finally done! https://github.com/zeit/pkg

Is zeit/pkg, enclose renamed & repackaged or a completely different app?

theeye-io commented 7 years ago

Hi,

for those who paid your license are you going to provide support?
