Update: 12/19/2009
With all the recent buzz about DECAF lately, there have been many requests for the visibility of DECAF source code. These have been from the early days of its release to the current "stunt" news. My purpose of DECAF is over. There are many out there who think we are feds *cough* John Young *cough* and some who think we are lunatic, religious nuts *cough* John Young *cough*. But then again we still have 95% of the other readers who encourage and compliment us. Oh ya.. and we finally heard that Microsoft seems to have finally broke the silence about the hype. I am not quite sure where they stand as I was expecting to hear from Richard Boscovich myself but didn't. Anyhow, on to my point...
We have heard from both sides of the argument regarding DECAF source code being released.
