Whether it sounds trollish or not, (I would say that it was intentional), the point is that so many projects give their hard work to the community who take, and then take and continue to take, and give nothing in return other than the malicious and evil comments (not all) that you can find on this page.

All the forks that the readers mention herein exist thanks to the developers behind NoMachine NX. Neatx would not exist without NoMachine, likewise all those other projects that continue to take the NX compression libraries and even complain that certain things don't work, or don't work well. If they don't work, or don't work well, why don't they just fix it themselves? What a shame it is that all these forks do exist now, only to disappear later. And they will because they don't have anyone holding their hand.

Instead of all just sitting there wondering why they are closing the source, and wondering what you can use in its place, just download and try it. They have obviously closed the source because they got fed up with "the community" taking a technology for free without giving a shit back. They have no doubt got some tricks up their sleeves, and who said no one uses it? It is clear you don't read much, you just sit there and drink your free beer. Who cares about forks, it's nomachine that's holding the knife by its handle.
