Open source driver? #143

Open zys5945 opened 2 years ago

zys5945 commented 2 years ago

Much appreciate this project exists.

Just wondering if there's any plan to open source the driver?

Slion commented 2 years ago

Is it not open source? LATER: I see now that it isn't, which sucks really.

I hope the driver code can be opened as well since my keyboard will not work sometimes I use USB switcher to switch my keyboard, it seems a driver bug.

Slion commented 1 year ago

Indeed that bug makes this library useless to me, see: https://github.com/oblitum/Interception/issues/145 I mean it works as long as you don't plug and unplug devices 🤣

@oblitum if you still want to make companies pay you, I recommend you release the driver as open source under AGPL 3.0 with option to pay for a commercial license.

The fact that #25 has remained unfixed for 6 years and the open source community can't build on your work to improve the software is disappointing.

oblitum commented 1 year ago

@jtroo to "make someone pay me" doesn't sound about right. There's plenty options currently available, and I'm looking into redeveloping it when I can, while I admit it has been frozen for quite a while, I'm analyzing rewriting, and it was somewhat beneficial to wait, because Microsoft rules over driver development has changed drastically over the years, and I'm sure it was a pain in the **** for those that had to deal with that while it happened. And last but not least, people and companies still pay for it.

@oblitum Options? There are more up to date + open source options that does the same thing? Could you link them? As this does not even install for me, thanks.

Slion commented 1 year ago

@JIGASHI It's just as well that it does not install. If I were you I would stay away from this driver as long as whatever is causing #145 not has been fixed.

@oblitum I noticed it was a year since this, are the plans to rewrite/update the drivers still active 🙂?
